What is downvoting on steemit? and what happens when you get a downvote? (this article doesn't explain this, it asks)

in downvote •  7 years ago 

So can anyone explain to me and anyone else who wants to know what a downvote is and what it does?
Is it the same as flagging someone?
Please let me know in the comments.
