The Economic *Improvement* Proposal (EIP) from HF21 had three parts: 1) a superlinear reward curve *converging* to linear after enough SP voting for a post 2) a 50/50% reward split between author and curators 3) a free downvote pool allowing 2.5 free downvotes per day I'll focus on the latter. Before and even after the introduction of the free downvote pool, I had plenty concerns about it (as I had about all three points actually), but I said I'll think about if I'll use my free downvotes or not after all. It turns out that till this day I abstained from using them because I don't want to be dragged in the negativity surrounding the exchanges of flags, even if occasionally I disagree with some content from various points of view (like tag abuse, for example). I made [my position clear about this continuous war](https://steempeak.com/flag-wars/@gadrian/is-there-a-way-for-us-not-to-get-sucked-into-the-new-flag-war) some time ago, and nothing changed to make me feel otherwise. I am wondering if you use your daily downvotes. And if you feel like explaining further, then what motivates you?
