Do you use your free daily downvotes?
The Economic Improvement Proposal (EIP) from HF21 had three parts:
- a superlinear reward curve converging to linear after enough SP voting for a post
- a 50/50% reward split between author and curators
- a free downvote pool allowing 2.5 free downvotes per day
I'll focus on the latter. Before and even after the introduction of the free downvote pool, I had plenty concerns about it (as I had about all three points actually), but I said I'll think about if I'll use my free downvotes or not after all.
It turns out that till this day I abstained from using them because I don't want to be dragged in the negativity surrounding the exchanges of flags, even if occasionally I disagree with some content from various points of view (like tag abuse, for example).
I made my position clear about this continuous war some time ago, and nothing changed to make me feel otherwise.
I am wondering if you use your daily downvotes. And if you feel like explaining further, then what motivates you?
- Yes, I manually use my free daily downvotes.
- Yes, I follow a downvote curation trail.
- No, I don't ever use my downvotes.
- I manually downvote every once in a while.
