Hmm I don't know if I believe you that you are new. Your account name is too similar to this other one that trolls the hive chain. I’m not going to down vote you yet to give you the benefit of the doubt but the account that also responded to this here has been around for a while.
In any case, yes down votes are problematic in some situations but they are also helpful in others. There’s a lot of leeches out there, some with considerable stake in the platform but there’s also lots of others who don’t have much and just take everything they earn out of here. I dislike both situations. I’m not a foolish person when it comes to investing but I also don’t think constantly cashing out is a good idea.
