I also have a question about your decision to "no longer upvote any comments or posts."

When @steemcleaners down-votes someone and later they determine it was an incorrect down-vote, the impact is not simply the dollars lost from the down-vote. The impact is much greater, the user loses all of the eyeballs of people who may have looked at their post and up-voted, and they lose the benefits of branding and of gaining influence.

So it seems fair that you use the up-voting mechanism to compensate people for those other costs caused by the mistake.
