Well that wasn't really the point, the point was whether you felt reducing this post's rewards by around 60% was really necessary? I mean with the kind of voting power you have why not go out and find posts you think deserve to be higher and upvote them? Positive reinforcement for people instead of negative.

That and there are numerous examples of "whale swarms" but you chose this one specifically? There are other ones on the trending page that were ahead of this post right now actually. There was a post several weeks back from Busy.org that made over $1000 and literally was the epitome of a "whale swarm", yet there was no downvote there from you for a "whale swarm". Now, lets be clear, I am not saying that the Busy.org post didn't deserve it, because it probably did. They probably deserve every penny they get. I am just saying you seem to be picking and choosing your "whale swarms" to downvote. This particular one was ironic to me personally in the fact that it was more of an everyman type post, similar to what you told me last time we chatted that you would like to see more of when you downvoted another post of mine a couple weeks ago...
