This isn't an experiment
This is the whales living out "the purge"; a film which I have never seen, but believe it to be a story about a dentralised day where some people just try to live in peace while those with the weapons and superior fire power live out their sadistic dreams downvoting everyone into oblivion and destroying their reputation and hiding their content from reaching their audience.
A downvote was applied to partially counter earlier whale votes as an experiment to reduce whale domination of voting influence. Not intended to express an opinion on the content nor result in a net reduction of rewards or reputation (automated notice)
I really don't know if this experiment can bring any good but it sure brings a lot of confusion. We will see.
