Whenever my post gets over say $80, it recieves some "equalizing" downvotes. And I don't complain, getting the author half of $70 is still cool ;)
The caps in the poll are just for illustration.
On the other hand, downvotes are basically just another way to cap the rewards. If your Snap is worth $5 and I downvote it with 100%, you lose $1 of total reward and 50 cents of your author's payout.
I agree - although you do see some people who consistantly get that and DON'T get those equalising dvs...
Hadn't occured to me to dv a snap. I guess it'd have to get an extreme reward for extremely shit snapping! I mean, 'gm friends'? It's rather subjective, isn't it?
Well, I do get downvotes of some of the best paid post, recently on this one:
I don't really complain about those.
I have never been downvoted on Snaps, but I'v just posted like two dozens of them, and none of them got over $1 I guess. I can imagine someone might feel an urge to downvote a snap of mine it the reward was say $5.
