Dear @achim03
I only had a chance to read your comment and I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts.
These free downvotes are like the oppression tool of bigger accounts over small ones. Small accounts are too scared to downvote anybody having more SP than them.
Indeed. That's also how I see it.
In the end these downvotes will make people leave the platform.
Very sad, however very true. Problem which really exist. I can even give another example: ulqu3 - he has been away from steemit for a longer while. Came back, posted something and used bidbots to boost his post to trending page. He got number of heavy downvotes, but noone bothered to tell him what did he do wrong. Not even one warning or explanation.
I already know several similar examples and it's not hard to imagine and understand, that many of those users will quit steemit. And that worries me.
Absolutely appreciate it. Enjoy your weekend,
Piotr
