I've been very outspoken on the problems that downvoting brings to Steem as a global currency (https://steemit.com/steem/@therealwolf/one-currency-to-unite-them-all-71ooesyu) and that it will alienate stakeholders with different perspectives (https://steemit.com/steem/@therealwolf/clash-of-steem).

But I've also been very clear on my stance that a rewards pool can't just have upvotes without downvotes, otherwise, there is no way to combat abusive rewards milking. (https://steemit.com/steem/@therealwolf/on-the-need-of-downvotes-and-their-negative-consequences).

Which is why I'm against your proposal (No), but I'm in favour of moving the current PoB rewards pool towards an SMT. That way, everyone could decide for themselves whether they want to be staked in a rewards pool that allows downvoting or where downvoting is disabled. This also keeps our main currency clean.
