I was puzzled as I refreshed the "hot" tab to see that a post I'd upvoted for had dropped the number of votes. I then clicked on it again, and the number was back up.
On looking at the post in Steemd.com, I discovered that it had been downvoted - but there was no sign of the downvoter on the steemit post, either in the flag count, or in the dropdown.
Here is an example, it's @gavvet 's daily pick:

As you can see there are no flags.
However if you look at the steemd analysis of the page:

you see the following:
you can see there has been a downvote.
If you are wondering why the money on your post is going down, you need to head to steemd.com to find out why because steemit is now hiding downnvotes.
