You learn some strange psychological things going on with this Steem platform.  For instance, I had 165 upvotes for a post and 2 downvotes.  I decided to look up and investigate who the two downvoters were thinking it might be some crazed Eth shill like Minecache...nope, two bimbos.  I have a feeling they downvoted solely because it was content on the front page they weren't interested in and wanted it replaced by mindless things like pictures of rainbows, cats, American Idol, etc.

I typically don't downvote anything, I just upvote the things I think are interesting.  I would downvote if it was just a spam attack like ASDFAFDSF, but these bimbos basically use a hivemind approach to launch attacks against anyone who doesn't cater to their vapid desires.  I'd like to hear what Anonymint thinks about this.  People who only upvote on posts they like and never downvote versus people who attack vote and the game theory surrounding it.  I haven't done a thorough investigation of all the incentives yet to figure out the outcome of all this.  I seem to recall there being incentive to not down vote just for the hell of it to screw with people.

I imagine if this thing was actually big with tons and tons of users, getting paid for a post would be rare and I think huge attack voting would occur and everything would resemble a Youtube rap video with 5000 likes and 5000 dislikes, then the game theory might change to where everyone is forced to attack vote.  I definitely need to put more time in studying this system.
