RE: Some Whales are Abusing their Power with Downvotes
Paying people to upvote is abuse, or at least within the range of reasonable definitions of a abuse that someone may find as a reason to flag/downvote. @liodani did nothing wrong here.
Faucets are a very common practice with crypto and there are no rules against it. You will see a number of posts on steemit of giving things away if someone votes and/or comments. So I disagree this any abuse.
Also the downvotes this whale in question is doing are not just in relation to just this. And because of his steam power weight he can squash whole threads of posts on his own which is too much power.
Faucets are a common practice when people give away their own money. In this case votes allocate money from the reward pool which belong not to the poster, but to the community. As such, all in the community are entitled to protect the pool as their conscience dictates, which is exactly what @liondani did there. If I had seen it I would have done the same.
If there are other cases where you think @liondani acted inappropriately then point them out specifically. Making vague allegations without facts helps no one.
I disagree with you and see no difference in offering anything for upvotes and comments. And a faucet is a valid way to bring people to the community because once on the site it is very likely they will do other activities.
Downvoting gives those with too much power to be the judge and jury. So even when other disagree, our pinions are meaningless when crushed by one person with too much power.

Right this is the same like what in Turky happens
Why downvoting simply make a Reply an say what you think about this and other
can upvote ore leaving it or say what he thinks about it
This we are calling in Germany Demokratie!
Downvoting is like censoring and if only the People with much Power can censoring it!
What is it?
We have already an official faucet running from the founders of steemit that gives min $3 to each new registered user!

You wouldn't even care about how much steem power one person has if they would upvote your post. People are free to do whatever they feel like, even when we don't agree. Instead of watching other people activity , why don't you spend that time curating ? I am pretty sure it will be more productive...
I do spend time curating and my points on down voting having too much weight are still valid.
totally agree with @smooth
I don't and neither do others. But in this dichotomy your vote totally crushes our voices and opinions.
We can agree to disagree on things but when the system allows a user to crush a list of posts simply because you find the idea not to your liking because nothing he was doing is wrong or abuse.
