Yeah downvotes are the worst, wonder why that doesn't stop anyone anywhere else.. Reddit users downvote by many, many magnitudes more than here, same for YouTube. Saying that "upvotes are subjective" but "downvoting is'only for fighting abuse'" (but not abusive payouts, raping the rewards for everyone for shit content, which though, does not exist because as long as it has value to someone, it's not shit content) is no different than saying that "you can express your encouragement for something with an upvote, no matter how subjective that is, but trying to express the opposite, or your disapproval, is not OK because it needs to be objective (fighting abuse). Sorry bub but that's not running away consumer's at all. What the fuck does a consumer care about downvotes, they absolutely do not give a flying fuck and for good reason, it doesn't affect them what so fucking ever, but I know who's affected deeply, some insecure morons that "it's hard enough to earn on here already please stop stealing my rewards".
