It seems that the more money you have invested in Steem Power, the more "politically correct" you have to be with SteemIt whales and mobs of Trolls/followers/lemmings who tend to jump onto the downvoting bandwagon - if they decide to target you. I keep it at 100SP because that seriously limits anyone's ability to damage my bottom line, while preserving my presence on the platform (however insignificant one perspective may be in the larger ocean).
I know there are others out there who think exactly as I do, yet do not speak their point of view for fear of downvotes or losing out on the paltry share of the rewards pool. I mean, if your week revolves around 0.00031% of the SteemIt rewards pool, then you have bigger problems to worry about than your Social Media reputation. In my case, the difference of 25 SBD per month, one way or the other, means little. If that is the price I pay for my views, so be it. I understand that the current platform allows for others to downvote my views, and vice-versa: that's the current game - and it's tilted heavily towards "might make$ right."
Amen to that. The more SP you have the more you need to recoup, and that will be made pretty difficult if you are being downvoted at every corner. Though funny enough this leads to vote selling and delegating full time.
