Just got downvoted by a whale bot that seems to downvote everyone that replies to a certain author. Pretty disgusting system :(

    That was one of my downvotes as well. Stay away from the Germans! lol and also H*****'s page. I thought I had warned you about Mr H. B*****'s people/bots will get you just for commenting. :(. I commented on a bitcoin article once there and got nailed.

    I don't know what the impact of such a downvote is. I saw that it was a 10% downvote, but he got A LOT of Steem Power.

    It mainly hurts your reputation. I think I would be at 60 or higher if I never got any downvotes. It does take away your earnings as well though.

    hi @cyrano.witness

    you wrote:

    If ypu think of upvoting as the carrot, then downvoting is the whip.

    From my perspective, downvoting on steemit is closer to declaring someone a war than just the whip.
    Downvoting someone with more SP for creating shitty content fired back at so many people, that it's scary to use this tool.

    Downvoting is a powerful tool being abused left and right and I would never recommend to use if you're not ready for a flag war.

    @frankvvv
    I agree with you :/
