Yea disagree, as media scholar Marshall McLuhan asserted: "The Medium is the Message" I think all value is subjective and disagreeing over rewards is due to the content of the message--unless you think there is some maximum vote value? Ultimately I suspect if we really get into it, unless there is a theoretical maximum payout and you have a binary analysis of posts that meet that or not and only downvote if the post objectively gets past that threshold, I suspect unless that if how people are allocating downvotes then disagreement over rewards can be collapsed into a sub category over down voting over content.

For me, I think it may be better if the only downvotes were for spam/posts non in conformity with clearly stated guidelines posted before the post to provide some aspect of due process notice. And I think in that case for this system to be uniformly enforced so these rules are most likely to adjust and regulate expression here if we think we need certain rules to control and manage discussions.

It will be interesting to find out why someone would do this. I understand many may disagree with my perspective of ideal downvote culture which would be minimal to non existent outside of spam/rule violations.

Hope the weekend goes well for you. If you ever have important stuff you want me to resteem/upvote to help you find your audience feel free to message me "TheFatKat" on discord.
