Not a good idea!!

Didn't know there's a people like that, so what will happen if those people spreads?

Downvoting something means more for others.. since the reward pool is limited.

Oh I see, I thought if you downvote everyone you can still curation rewards same as you upvote someone lol

Actually, we might need something like this to protect free speech. But instead of selling downvotes, maybe better to sell down vote insurance. Some bullies around the site think it's ok to just flag people for opinions without rational discussion.. this pushes people away from wanting to speak truth, at times.... I don't know about anonymous downvotes... That sounds like it would just enable more bullying

The free speech approach is a bit iffy, because "protecting free speech" in the American sense means to avoid being arrested just because of something you say. In a completely voluntary system like Steemit - in which you don't have to be here, but is completely by choice - it's supposed to be understood upon entering that anything goes. Steemit, Inc provided the tools, now it's up to the community (or each individual) to use them how they deem appropriate.

it might work in a small scale, since it has no cash profit for either party, it would be used as a tool for punishing people whom post spam, scam or stupid posts.

Blackmail bot would be best first take money for downvote than take money for not to downvote boom ! profit

Boom! best business plan ever lol

I’m not a fan of the downvote but I am definitely not a fan of the pay for upvote services. I don’t think they really help minnows or make the Steem community more social. Maybe creating a bot hat posts after each upvote bot post explaining why it’s a not a good thing to do.

That would be EPIC ! What shall we name the Bot ?

Hmm don’t know if it should be
Dirty Harry

You feeling Lucky Punk

Or Ghandi

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

Those are good ideas. I was also thinking something having to do with Terminator ( Humans Vs. Bots Theme). Definitely should have some humor too.

Hi @etherpunk you are just the person I have been looking for. I want to downvote this guy called @kevinwong, i just checked your SP though, I'm not sure how much affect it will have on him ...

haha pay X amount to downvote X amount :P

this is epic request. 😂😂😂

Here's the thing... the urge for destruction is a creative passion.

I think it would be an interesting phenomenon but it's hard to see the value proposition for participants unless it were marketed as a voluntary network designed to protect the platform from egregious behavior.

I mean... given the right circumstances, I'd donate monthly in a patreon like program to support keeping the obvious plagiarism off the blockchain.

Edit: by off the blockchain, I mean downvoted appropriately

I think it's quite unlikely someone will keep on paying to downvote just on a personal agenda, since it costs money.. maybe whales will pay for something like that for the good of the network.. maybe

It might be beneficial, but abuse of such a service might be destructive in the long run. If such a service can handle that aspect then it might be beneficial

I think it's harder to abuse compared to paying for upvotes..

I don't know maybe it's because am seeing a kinda randowhale or minnowbooster where anyone is allowed to send cash to downvote anything without review, but coming for you am sure you got a better way to go about it

@etherpunk maybe you should build the service lets find out, it can be an experiment/ or an extension of your joke, I'm ready to delagate some Sp. We can all laugh it off a decade later.

WTB flags for this post.

I'm selling 10 SBD per 10% downvote strength.. xD lol

Deal! Now we just need escort so you won't unflag it til payout!
