Reflection on the DownVote
<div class="text-justify">Hi friends of steemit.
For some time I have been worried about the amount of DownVotes that many users of this platform are giving. Especially for the <strong> abuse of DownVote</strong>  </div>.

<center>https://steemitimages.com/400x400/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSqNkFv2hKWh6Z2z7kG32wYUWMWMtKPccwLo4nxeM2mbM/Blanco-Conx.png</center>

<div class="text-justify">I just read a post by @networkallstar that also expresses its concern about this problem. If you want to read you can check <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@networkallstar/downvote-bot-army-rioting-on-steemit-part-ii#@networkallstar/pzzqxs" target="_blank">Here</a>. 

<br />There are many users on steemit creating quality publications, with original works and very well presented, as for the visual, that have the famous negative vote of another user. Why? They never say why!

These accounts that make DownVote do not present any valid arguments to do that action. They are usually beginner users with low voting power. Whew!

If a user makes an original publication, with well-cited sources and without plagiarism, I do not understand why another user marks DownVote. Caprice or dislike is not a valid reason.

<strong>The DownVote MUST be argued because if it DOES NOT BECOME ABUSE</strong> . This is a request that I make for myself and for the users who are surprised every day by some DownVote.

I'm going to put as an example a recent post of mine where I received DownVote for @jolerus and I still don't know why. The post was a personal experience that I wrote especially for steemit and that I shared with reggae fans. </div>

<center>![Jolerus.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/marcybetancourt/jCrEQ961-Jolerus.png)</center>

 ###### <center>*Source: Screenshot* </center>

<center>As you can see in the screenshot, other users also received DownVote.</center>

<div class="text-justify">If I don't like a certain topic, I simply don't give it my vote. If I like baseball and read a good boxing post, I don't have to give it DownVote. If I like classical music and watch a rock video, I don't have to do DownVote. If I like rhymed poetry and read a free verse poetry I don't have to place DownVote. If I love black and white photography and a user does not like this style, I do not have to wear a DownVote.

<br />DownVote Power is becoming an abuse by unscrupulous users. And I ask: is that action favoring someone? Is that action generating small amounts of steem to some users? We must investigate!

<strong> We should seriously review what is happening on this topic and talk about this. I propose that the steemit platform regulates the DownVote.</strong> 

I await your reflections and understanding regarding my concern for DownVote because a bad precedent is being created.

If you have ever received a negative vote please tell me in the comments.

Users who strive to stay active in steemit deserve a response to this problem. More trust must be created. 

If anyone has any explanation of what is happening with DownVote Power it would be very important for the exchange of ideas and information.</div>

#### <center>Thank you for reading. I await your feedback</center>

#### <center>Infinite greetings</center>

That is a bot and you will never see a personal message. It is like a pesky mosquito. Try to ignore it. Or else just laugh and yell F_ck You very loudly. There are people working on trying to get rid of these. Be patient!

Exactly! Try not ignore it and all the others like it. The good thing is that whales have used their downvotes to strip these bots of their voting power so that they can't do any harm. So we should be saying YAY for downvotes! πŸ˜‰

Hi.  I stopped by to view your writings.  I love your movie reviews about reggae.

I've been reading several posts about downvotes and how people feel about them.  I'll continue to learn what is going on.  I'm fairly new to Steem, so just reading and learning about different topics.

Thank for your post on the subject.
