Free downvotes are here and no need to spare them!
A few weeks ago Steem changed to include a dedicated pool of downvoting power.
The downvote pool doesn't work like the main voting power. When using the main voting power pool a 100% upvote at full strength is worth 2% more than one right after (when at 98% VP).
The downvote power can be used much more freely without penalty. The effect of downvotes are the same whether you spare them by down-voting regularly every days or use them all at once every 5 days. (~13 full downvotes)
You can check the status of you voting power pools at https://steemd.com/@YOUR_USERNAME
Here is a test I ran that might help some of you visualize what I'm talking about.
Start at 23%
After 3 downvotes
Same decrease in Down-Voting power (DVP)
Same amount of negative rshares (effect)
There is a negligible difference between the rshares count of about 0.02% (0.0002) might be related to changes in Steem's global variables.
Important detail, Since HardFork 21 (HF21) there is a indirect relationship between total votes on a post (rshares) and rewards.
This difference between vote and reward is more pronounced when a post is around $4.00. So downvoting a post that is worth more than that will remove significantly more reward than a post already worth less.

You can also see your upvote and downvote pools easily on steempeak
Uhh that's awesome information.
Now I will wait for the drama with a !BEER

Vielen lieben Dank für euren Support. Der Account meiner Tochter wächst und gedeiht.
Thats an intersting fact about the downvote power not diminishing. I guess one could say it is more powerful than an upvote becuase 1+1= 2 it doesnt equal 1.9
I like to check my reserves on steemworld. There is a little triangke you can click in the big meter.

Interesting. I had not noticed that in particular. It's also interesting how there's little downvote abuse. I guess the cost of engaging in "downvote wars" at the expense of higher curation rewards from normal interaction is the deterrent.
#newsteem is a lesson that keeps on teaching :)
☺️
Ah, that's handy. I wasn't entirely sure how the downvotes VP bar worked and was keeping mine highish because I thought it would have more impact. But now I won't, cheers!

Originally upvoted cause of the haejin flags but looks like you went overboard with using your own bid buying service so changed it into a downvote. Hope that wasn't too long for you not to read.
Du wirst mir fast sympathisch @acidyo

Wish I could downvote this twice.

Yeah but you get flag wars galore, no?
I know everyone is expecting us all to do our part but if I start flagging with SteemSTEM and some anti-science whale starts flagging us and our users... we're doomed.
So forgive me for not joining in, at least with that account (and my account is worth roughly 0.0001c)
