Steemit: misuse of Downvoting is killing content

I've wrote a number of articles related to the standard of content on this site. Discussing why good content is important to the long term future of Steemit.

Yet a new phenomenon of apparent Downvoting for no obvious reason threatens to hamper the publication and consumption of many articles.

Everyone has a right to an opinion but only when it's justified. There's a lot of high earning crap about which deserves some reward correction. However simple advice offering posts without grammatical errors should be treated with respect.

For example I've wrote posts advising of possible hacks in which people have lost real money and provided basic advice for securing those accounts. Only to be downvoted upto 50% off the original reward total. For what reason I don't know.

My suggestions to Steemit are;

Downvoters should be clearly listed and asked to state a reason for doing so.

Downvoting should be disabled for posts valued under $100.

So let's play nice everyone. Sure some young lass in a tight t shirt making cakes isn't worth $10k (they still earns thousands even with a few downvotes) . But let's think about the smaller fish who form the vast majority. Please stop Downvoting unless there's an obvious reason to.

Steemit is a privilege not a right.
