@ecoinstant, very well articulated answer! It was very interesting to read.
Btw, when I started using Steemit I was downvoted/downgraded a few times. My reputation dropped from 25 to 23 or 22. One big whale downvoted my articles on bitcoin. I was a Newbie and I didn't know at the beginning all the rules. I wrote to that whale, but he never answered to me... It was a very unpleasant start. I was discouraged and wanted to quit using Steemit...but @yanipetkov persuaded me to stay on Steemit.
So, to downvote or not is a very tricky question.

Great to hear from you! There is a learning phase in this life, and though some people never learn, many of us do!
I was scolded a few times in the beginning as well, but luckily by patient people who wanted me to get better. I do try to look on the bright side of other people, after all this is crypto anarchy, and most of us have never been so free!
Thank you for this great response! Starting out can be tough and learning what to do with no one to show you even tougher. Its important to consider as we grow the next billion new users will need mentors c;
@ecoinstatnt, you are right! Have a good day!
