RE: Steemit Update: Leaving "Survive Mode" ... and Beta!
Steem is a free network. If you don't like to see the downvotes just don't look at them use a front end like steempeak.com that shows all the posts. It's pretty simple. When you post content online some people will not like it and will downvote you. If you don't like that part of content production simply disable earnings for your posts completely and make money through steem donations or 100s of other methods that thousands of creators already use. Steemit can't do anything about the downvote, just as no one can censor when you upvote or downvote something. That's the whole point. You missed that i think. Enjoy the freedom, enjoy the transactions and make friends in the network. Ignore negative actions in the free network and if you can't ignore them, make friends who will stand up with you against the actions.
It's not someone that dislikes my posts. It is someone who is waging a harassment campaign against me, trying to shadow ban my profile.
This has nothing to do with freedom but with pure power abuse.
If everybody here is thinking as you are, then I sadly have to agree with @timcliff who stated that this platform is suffering from "Tragedy of the commons".
This means this platform is doomed to fail, while everybody wants to enjoy freedom at the expense of someone else's freedom, especially if you have less power.
That's what the Americans do when they tell you they come to bring freedom and democracy to your country. What remains of your country is a pile of shit and rubble like Iraq, Syria and Libiya.

Enjoy your Freedom until the Bubble bursts!
