Thanks for your beautiful post. I join your words, and this downvote principle can really be scary. Some people can be very severe! I mean, we are not in school, we don't need to be punish if we produce not so good content. A comment with advices to improve ourself will be so much more appreciate. Every functionnality have both good and bad sides. And i hope, in the future, Steemians will be attentive of not abusing of this system! We are here just for share things to each other, not to punish others.
Take care of you my friend, and thank you so much for all the support you give to this beautiful community !!
