It's true that the assholes could go after the delegators, which is why joining both the upvoting and downvoting trails from separate accounts might be the best policy. However, to my knowledge, this hasn't happened yet. The fellow I'm talking about downvoted the asshole in question using his main account.
@curangel has grown by several tens of thousands of SP and is now slightly below 700k.
Seems to be happening pretty heavily considering I DV directly and haven't DV'd any of these accounts.
You mean those who delegate to @curangel get downvoted pretty heavily by the assholes?
I got a massive retaliatory downvote once from the professor because I had been directly downvoting his posts dozens of times. But that was the only time. I got several retaliatory downvotes from the unstable surfer boy but also upvotes. My delegating to @curangel has resulted in no retaliatory downvotes of any kind. @curangel gets all the flak as is by design. I haven't downvoted the biggest asshole directly or indirectly. First of all, it would've be redundant after his announcement. Secondly, he could've wrecked my account, too. The young fellow stupidly went after the biggest asshole after I told him that downvoting wasn't that dangerous - he wouldn't do it at all at first. Now his earning capacity is wrecked for good. Indirect solutions are a must.
I have had about 20 100% from both accounts
Your rewards are so large as for you to be able to easily absorb downvotes like that in a stride. The young fellow is contemplating leaving Steem and publishing his content elsewhere. I've stopped giving advice to people here except on a general level. You can't know or control what other ideas they might have that could lead them to botch the execution.
He should post anyway. Cross post if needs be. Use tribes.
Would you if you knew you would never earn any posting rewards ever again?
I suggested he ditch his old account and create another one. It would be a trivial thing to send a memo to all his followers asking them to follow the new account instead. The old one could be used for shitposting to drain the asshole's DV power.
Those tokens are nearly worthless. The young fellow lives in a third world country and is in a position of some financial responsibility. Steem income has been of quite a bit of help to him.
