Yes I think for many it’s a misunderstanding of what downvotes are for, probably stemming from a misunderstanding of the rewards pool itself.

The reward pool yes and how proper promotion can be done, i.e reserving a certain percentage of the rewards to dao or something, make it not profitable but still promoted. Sigh but then again there's the trending factor that is hoped to being reserved for manually curated posts. Just my thoughts.

Anyway I guess this is that phase going forward,...
