Most of the Hive witnesses are powering down.

If every user just downvotes what they see in accordance with their stake it will be fine. It is DPOS and I don't want to see us go down the "Quality Content" path.

I don't want to see it turn into the rewards disagreement platform either. Just use your influence and we can work it out on our own.

I think the reason there is such hatred of downvotes was cultural the way they were given out the tone that was used when giving them out etc.

It's a delicate problem that should be handled with tact and an acceptance of your own level of influence. (stake)
