RE: "I Got Downvoted!?! It's Not Fair! Can You Help Me???"
a lot of the issues with the downvotes is also partly due to the fact that people feel entitled to the upvotes they get...
I do not go around and downvote but I do when they spammers come to my account and give out really random comments. Although that I have to say that HF20 has really taken down the amount of spam I am receiving.
So that is really a good thing from the HF that achieved its goal.
Yep, entitlement is an issue.
Very cool to hear HF20 delivering on promises. :)
your right there
early exploiters and top witnesses fit this category perfectly,
in the manner they feel "entitled" by the extreme rewards farming of posts in the early days also the days pre HF19 fork
and now they feel "entitled" to the majority of rewards regardless
Please don't use "they" to broad brush an entire group. I don't fit this "they" you speak of, nor do many others I know in the category you're describing. I bought STEEM at $3 and $4 in 2016 and watched it go to $0.07. I held.
I want to point out another aspect of this issue .
I highly doubt anybody here gives a rats ass about shit posts or spam , what is going on here is and you will often here that from all those who are flagging people is 'they are raping steem rewards pool with their shit posts'
So lets make things perfectly clear here :
At the end of the day all that matters here on steemit is who gets the steem , it has nothing to do with spam or shit posts its all about money .
Some 'cleaners' / 'flaggers' here on steemit are highly organized , sophisticated groups that do downvoting on industrial scale .
Folks , when you take funds from users in order to put it in your own pocket , that is called THEFT .
And I suggest all users affected by this criminal groups not to contact @lukestokes but to file their complaints with law enforcement

Hahah. Are you for real?
Please, understand how this system works before you start thinking theft is taking place because of a downvote. I suggest reading the white paper to start. Any value displayed in the UI prior to the seven day payout is just a potential reward. It’s not your property so no theft happens when votes (up or down) determine consensus for the payout amount.
And no, that’s not “all that matters” because the quality of the Proof of Brain outcome impacts the value claim of the entire blockchain. If it works well, STEEM may go up in value. If not, people may sell and go elsewhere. We all have incentive to see curation work correctly to bring good content to the top.
Also, it’s kind of weak to give an unrelated reply to a upvoted comment just to get visibility. Keep in mind, everything you say on a blockchain is recorded forever. Reputation matters.
I think my comment is very much related to your post and deserves visibility . Because what is taking place on steemit is not laughing matter .
We are seeing industrial scale downvoting operation by certain users and channeling all that STEEM back to their accounts . If you don't know what I am talking about , I suggest you take a better look at so called 'cleaners' ...
Are you referring to steamcleaners? I remember how much spam, identity theft, and ridiculousness was around here prior to cheetah and steemcleaners. It was a total mess. If you have a grievence, these systems have appeals processes in place. The fact that you think "theft" was involved already tells me you don't understand how this system works and are a bit confused. That said, I'm willing to hear you out. Send me a link explaining what you're so upset about.
