In the end it is a personal choice if and when to downvote, but the categories are a useful guide. As a decentralised platform we do not want strict rules, but activities that harm Steem in general ought to be discouraged. I do not downvote to attack people, only to adjust their rewards. That brings risks of retaliation, which is happening lately, but that is no big deal for me. Personal gain is not my main driver.

Hang in there buddy!
We got your back and we are only getting stronger. Hopefully, we can rally more delegators to projects like @freezepeach.
It would be cool if somebody can develop an algorithmic downvote counter bot that is tuned to detect and neutralize that activity.
I would take a stab at it but I have more than enough to keep me busy atm.
I'm fine. I don't worry about it at all. Anything I earn here is just getting powered up for now anyway. If I make a bit less then it's no big deal. On the plus side my rep is going up from all the big votes :)
Why the hell you get flagged @steevc - just was searching for you and got shocked!
These things happen. I downvoted him ages ago, but he lost all his rewards recently when whales used their free downvotes. Maybe it is because he supporting one of them. He is obviously not interested in talking to me about it, so I will call him out for bullying anywhere I can.
Does he really think I care about a few dollars? I value the community more. Thanks to that community some of my posts will still earn.
I found out some strange flagging groups are actively fighting each other - seems some flag all what certain others Resteem. Personally I lost view in who supports which team. I personally see more negative outcome from the so called #newsteem with bid bot heavy reward pool rapers now claim to become good guys. I would even consider flagging some of them i personally like but will Refrain as it will become a Personal fight thing again - none of them take care of the community

I am not interested in fighting. I do not retaliate for downvotes. There are still plenty of people buying votes on crap to deal with. I do think some of the big accounts could set a better example. They may say they need a return on their investment, but Steem is not exactly thriving.
