I'm not sure why you're spending so much time on this downvoting issue. To put things into perspective:
You're in the top 100 in posting rewards out of all accounts on the Steem blockchain. https://steemwhales.com/?p=4&s=pr
You're the number 5 most rewarded author over the past 30 days. https://steemwhales.com/trending/?d=30
You currently have $670+ in pending payouts just for the next 7 days. https://steemnow.com/
But you've now written seven posts in a row about being downvoted by another user. Not downvoted to $0 in potential payouts, but downvoted to $30 - $50 in potential payouts...for chapters of novels that you had apparently already published in the past.
I get that being downvoted isn't fun, trust me. What I don't get is why you need to make seven posts about it and act like you're being victimized because you'll only earn almost $700 so far in the next week.
The votes "from one person" in each direction look like this:
| Voter | Rshares | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| blocktrades | 20,766,674,162,708 | 82% |
| transisto | -10,937,759,594,395 | -100% |
I would say that you're benefiting a lot more from one person's upvote than the other's downvote, but you're complaining that one investor's vote is perfectly legitimate and the other's is not. They are both invested. They are both voting with their stake as they see fit. And you're still coming out of it all with more potential rewards than you would be if neither of them voted on your posts.
My question to you would be this: Do you think that these complaint posts about one user downvoting some of your content are adding more value to the platform? I noticed that you haven't declined any payouts, if they were just PSAs trying to get the word out.
I agree with @ats-david on that one - even I lose some friends here on the platform but these ongoing whining and postings on a very high level because of some flags is bullshit.
Excuse my ignorance but I thought downvotes by a user with a lower reputation than you had no impact. Not sure where I read or heard that but that was my impression. You clearly seem to know how the DV stuff works - can you point me in the right direction to find enlightenment on this topic?
Downvotes from users with a lower rep than you have no impact on your rep, but they still affect payouts.
Thanks. I see now this is mentioned in the FAQ - I hadn't thought about post by post impact, just overall reputation.
