So being a five, I am hesitant to post a reply to anyone with a higher reputation score since they can affect my reputation and as a result my visibility / rewards. This is from a direct experience yesterday when I felt in alignment with a popular poster and linked to my article that I thought shared their point of view. I upvoted them and discovered later that they had downvoted my comment. I can understand someone seeing a short reply with a link as spam but everyone with this new power - please yield it wisely.
