RE: Steemit, why is there not a downvote button?
Because this system is based on positivity. Having a downvote button would inevitably make the site negative. There is the option of flagging, but this is used for content you feel should not be allowed on Steemit.
IDEA: I think that a downvote button should be an option the post creator can turn on, but is off by default.
