It's an abuse group. That's as simple as it is. It's people who got in early on STEEM or bitcoin and can afford to flatten users they disagree with because they are wealthy on steemit.

They come up with rules I disagree with so I use my downvotes to downvote them sometimes. Also downvote other accounts.

Them profiting off upvoted on downvotes is ironic. What the hell are they adding to the ecosystem. If they made posts saying how great they are and who to target today without stealing rewards then do it I won't downvote that. But claiming rewards I will downvote it.

I'd have preferred if my upvoted were the same as before the hard forks but now part of my upvotes are downvotes so I'm morally obliged to decrease their rewards.
