To better understand why downvoting is necessary I recommend to read [this post](https://steemit.com/steem/@bitcoindoom/why-down-votes-and-flags-are-an-unavoidable-consequence-of-game-theory). One paragraph in particular is very enlightening: > What many people may not realize is that Ned and Dan originally set out to design an up-vote-only, positive platform. They felt that the negative experience of "losing money by popular vote" would harm user experience. The system of up and down votes that we have to day is out of necessity not desire. We have to design systems that are fully compatible with the laws of human nature (game theory).

Thank you very much for the quote and reference. I will read that post and, hopefully, arrive at a better understanding. I really appreciate your stepping in and offering me this very relevant information! :) 😄😇😄 <a href="https://rebrand.ly/3d97" target="_blank"> <img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmWvzuqZ51DoiSjXXf8bukb7JeeVV1eAJJhGBkDiYc8ajj/creatr_ap.gif" alt="@creatr" style="border:0;"> </a>

Actually, 'laws of human nature' or game theory, is just a political tool and should not have a place in here (it was used to take control away from the governments and give it to the corporations so that they police themselves, for example, if you design a car with faulty brakes, the government cannot do anything, game theory says the corporation will recall the cars and fix them because it pays them to do so). We've all seen the results of those theories, but, more important, I thought that Steemit was based on the free market. In other words, I write a poem, a story or paint a picture. anarcho thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread and pays me $200. Whatever else anyone else thinks of my talent, to anarcho it is worth $200 and nobody else has the right to impose his own opinion on us by taking away most of that money. In my view, not only is he trampling on my rights and the rights of anarcho to determine according to his tastes what the market value of my work is, he is also stealing the funds from both of us, for after all, he may claim that the money is not mine until the week is up, but he cannot make the same claim vis-a-vie anarcho. To him it will also feel as if his money was stolen, and so it will be so. I am against flagging for any reason apart from controlling criminal behaviour, the rest of the time, market forces should be left to impose the conditions. That is fair; you don't like my work, then don't upvote me; that happens often enough, I'll realise I am wasting my time and move on, without anyone having to abuse me or harm my sense of dignity. The moment it is used for personal users to impose an opinion, then I consider that act as becoming, itself, criminal behaviour and demeans what Steemit was meant to become.

Hello, @arthur.grafo, I'm responding only briefly, as I don't think you meant to address your reply to *me,* but I'm the one it got directed to... >*"anarcho thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread and pays me $200."* FYI, Steemit users *do not* pay one another. They have an influence on a *reward pool,* which is not the same thing. Some of the details of how that works are in the Steemit White Paper. You may wish to re-post your reply under the main article, or under @onthewayout's remarks, as he is the one who mentioned "game theory?"
