yeah second to that. rather than the possible benefits, it's guarantee to drive more users away. don't have the numbers maybe someone can help pull out the data.
new users figuring out their way on steem and suddenly some random downvote came. whose there to judge quality? what's useless to some, might be useful to some.
doesnt the flag war and downvotes equate to censorship ? if you dont like the content just move on. Now the idea of rewarding downvote, whoever that thought of it, imagine you're on the receiving end. U create a piece of content thinking it's quality then someone downvote it and be rewarded. how would you feel ?

Exactly. We have trouble keeping people with a 30% ROI on their money(steem). What happens when people show up and they get randomly downvoted because... "quality". That is far more damaging than simply not receiving an upvote.
