RE: Opposing Perceptions, mismatched definitions, parity mismatch, voting, down voting, and "fairness"
I never saw anything I viewed as hostility on steemit until I saw the impact that a negative vote can have on people.
That's an excellent point. Though a downvote may be mathematically equivalent to an upvote, just on a different scale, it's the perception that matters and can cause frustration.
Indeed. Which I was NOT viewing it as a boardroom. I was viewing as a market, so I totally could not fathom why anyone would need a down vote. Until today when reading Dan's post it was clear he was viewing it more as a boardroom type situation. Everything became clear then.
For me it has not been about being anti-down vote. I just truly could see no benefit to it simply because I was viewing it as a market for content and ideas.
