Leaving honest and polite comments is recommended, if you decide to comment, but I still run into arguments from time to time. In most cases, if you simply don't like something, look elsewhere, leave it alone. Saying nothing is fine. Currently many seemed focused on downvoting paid vote abuse.

On a trending page here, if the current top slot was valued at say $50, and someone bought $150 worth of votes to purchase the top slot, they have overpaid by $99 and that's a huge waste of resources, since the reward pool is shared between ALL of us. Downvoting those posts to reasonable levels places the rewards back into the pool. If I downvoted, that downvote is worth about 40 cents, so 40 cents would be redistributed to every other post in existence that is still active. Most people wouldn't notice the increase but when many downvote, people will notice more value added to their posts, over time. That's one way to think about it.

Combating abuse is the main reason to downvote.

Having more curators than creators is ideal. That's how the entertainment industry works. You have one performer on stage and thousands of butts in the seats.

This headache sucks.
