Overall @whatsup from what you are seeing after HF21 and downvotes, even if it’s still to soon to make any final conclusions. You think it’s been positive?
Also from all the problem list to fix on the steemit ... Do you really think downvoting should be putted on the top of the list of most important implementation to fix and address?
It’s really interesting to see other social networks going the opposite road from steemit. Hiding like counts (Instagram) and even planning to remove the like button (Facebook) after intense studies that show it can improve engagement without caring about numbers or even prevent online bullying and potencial opinion fights...
I am genuinely curious to know more details about your overall thoughts about this since you are much more active than me here and must see every day examples of good things and bad with the new implementation...
