I won't repeat what I wrote before, I explained why downvotes are necessary. Your claims are bullshit.

Bernie calling himself the "'OG' bad whale" is sarcasm, because dan called him like that once.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinon
No one is entitled to their own facts.
YOUR claims is bovine excretion. Flags are wrong.

Well, then argue. Just being against something is easy. Ever tried being constructive?
What's your suggestion on how to prevent rewards for spammers/plagiarizers/etc. if not by opposing upvotes?

what gives you the right to steal?

That accusation is so stupid, it's not worth to even think about how to reply.

Just being against something is easy. Ever tried being constructive?

Actually, thinking about this a bit more made me feel like I got your point.
And let me say that your perception is wrong.
The rewards are distributed by the community as a whole. During the payout period, what's displayed is not yours. The value can change by many reasons - price fluctuation, upvotes for others, or downvotes for you. The period is used to find a community consensus on the payouts. It's not in your pocket, but in escrow (the pool, managed by the community). It gets finalized during that (currently 7 day) timespan, and you're able to claim it at the end. Only then it's yours.

Now will you answer my question too, or are you really just a troll and I should stop wasting my time on you?

What a sticky little troll.

So preventing a thief (plagiarizer) from making money is stealing to you?
