So, sad to see that. Even in the comments they are all saying that's ok to downvote without leaving a comment. ''How dare ....'' .

Dowvoting is not like upvoting at all. People are losing money from that and that's a big problem for them. Losing reputation as well. Hard earned, or even if they are newcomers who don't understand what's wrong.

When I joined 2 and half years ago, I also learned things only from downvote, but it shouldn't be like that. It was really hard to learn and you keep thinking, if it's ok to do something or not. Dowvoting should be commented in any case and they should explain why they do so. Or you can say they are acting like dictators who kill people without explaining them the reason, or just kill innocents to show their power. ( The case in autodownvote ).

They will not listen to this unless someone poweful will start to defend this. Or a communities come together and do something about it.

Anyway, the long term will prove they are wrong, just like upvote bots stoped, self upvote is fighted, circles are killed, this issue also will be solve in the future in my opinion. ☺
