The idea of normalizing downvotes is an interesting one. I have to say one of the main attractions of Hive to me is all of the positivity, which is reflected in the very few downvotes. At the same time, curating quality content benefits everyone on Hive, and encourages others to put out quality content.

I think we have to accept that sometimes rewards can get adjusted downwards and people can do that for any reason. I am not saying we should go crazy with downvotes, but should not fear them either. The main thing is to curate the good stuff, but also be prepared to deal with the bad.

I agree, that is very reasonable. This makes the upvotes mean more as well.

Well it wouldn't have much effect. I am trying to say that it is not just for 'official' accounts (no such thing) or nasty people. Anyone can do it, but a lot of people are scared to do it. I have done it and I don't get paid for it. I do what is good for Hive. You are free to do whatever you want.

Don't worry about it. I think I have told you that Hive is the wild west, so anything can happen. If you get a tiny downvote then it is no problem.
