This is such nonsensical position I don't know where to begin. People cannot police themselves that's why they must be policed by people.

Downvote Pool Deep Dive
Police don't allow mobs to go around lynching people which is the type of behavior this change is encouraging. It's not about community self regulation either like it's being sold. This only empowers the largest wallets, of which there are few, with the largest ones being those who are proposing these changes. It's regulation by the 1% just like the mainstream media where billionaires use their power to produce propaganda rags for their cause and stifle dissenting voices. All of the changes I can see Steemit making are ones that favor their position on the blockchain, including normalizing a culture of downvoting behavior, and providing free downvoting mana so the largest wallets, most of whom are anonymous and could easily be multi-accouting, can more easily steer the reward pool into their own hands.

No this "type of behavior" is not encouraging anyone to act like a troll. Complete nonsense. Those that act like troll will do so regardless of the change and the change will not change people into trolls.
How does this ONLY empower the few? You seem to think that with free downvotes the large stakeholders will all of a sudden start flagging like a Troll, and that's fine, you can think what you want. I know different, I know that the large stakeholders do care about the health of the economy, and the distribution of steem I know so from the innumerable efforts going on at the moment and from the unprecedented and still without a doubt most successful things that has happened here, the Whale experiment.
Also, police used to pose with the lynch mob. Fact check your shit that thinks the police keep people from lynching people, they absolutely are completely powerless against a violent mob. I don't know what world you got dropped off from with such unadulterated nonsense.

What makes you think "the Whale experiment" was a success?

You mean this stuff?
https://steemit.com/steem/@timcliff/the-whale-voting-experiment-explained-including-downvotes-from-abit
Looks like a total clusterfuck with zero data on what happened and therefore no way to measure success. Most of the comments are negative and it looks like several people left the platform over it.

However I did not ask what other people thought of it, I asked why you thought it was a success. Care to answer that question or not?

If you think the price of STEEM had anything to do with this then you clearly don't understand how the crypto markets work.

I'm not biased for or against the so-called experiment. You asked me to search for it and the first thing that popped up on Steem results was chaos and people quitting over it. That is why I asked for your opinion in the first place, because you claimed it was a success, and I wondered why. Clearly your claims that everyone approved of it were demonstrably false, and I still haven't seen anything in the way of data on how or why it was a success, only that a certain subset of people approved of and are cheerleaders for it. Expecting large accounts to act in concert for the good of the community rather than self interest is naive in my opinion, and I don't think anyone is prepared for the chaos that will be unleashed with free downvotes, but I hope that I'm wrong and you are right.
