Disclaimers: This is not, again , this is not a financial advice.
This is my personal point of view and steemit experience.
You are responsible for your own money and steemit participation.
Second disclaimer: First of all, I want to make it clear this is not a post to target anyone in images or directly or indirectly connected to past postings or mentions.
My apology goes to anyone downvoted up to day if they feel they don't deserve that kind of flagging.
When I look in trail of the events this is when it all happened.
In a fashion of before and after expressed in photos.
Long long time ago I was introduced to steemit as an amazing investment futuristic social network coin.
And I was so happy and excited.
Phase one - Catch the crab
Just before this group of negative downvote lobby attacked my post with all the steem power they have.
It is good to know in my example if it happens to you.

Phase 2- Feed the crab
You get interested and supported my whales to invest in more steem, transfer to steem power and vote to yourself and others is ok to all equally promoting Utopia.
Phase 3 - Build the crab
Years of promising new fork and angel tokens etc.
Now in this long phase where many whales let you to believe that steemit is place where all can make some extra coins. They vote for you, they write and promise forks 2 years ago , extra tokens and new platform supports. So I invested more.
Phase 4- Crab delicatessen
This is when downvote lobby starts destroying your vested time and coins earning.
Dreaming is over.
And than this is picture where and downvote lobby gives signal to downvote abusers and lobby attack your account.
At this point you can see mayor loss of your investment and your 3 year work on steemit.
This kind off attack will give someone heartattack so don't be surprised if you see this downvote bully group attack your account.
Nobody knows what they represent and who controls this downvote negative lobby.
I know only this that they can destroy your investment and years of your work on steemit.
That kind of damaged inflicted on my account caused me to lose more than 2000 plus in potential steem in more than one month alone, time off work and a lot of money lost.
All my investment and years of work on steemit are in question because of targeted abuse downvote attack on my account with downvote lobby.
It looks somewhat like this in my post vote count
One example of my post destroyed without valid reason is this
https://steemit.com/steemschools/@flysky/cat-like-puppet
This kind of downvote attack creates fear in followers,steemit friends and family.
This is example of how others have missused downvote power and trust steemit gave to all of us.
In this moment Nobody has power to create downvote key solution and this lobby abused downvote power beyond measure against specific crab target as you can see in my posts comments. They congratulates downvote team to bring down certain steemit members and their steemit account to frozen point.
Crab mentality applied in excessive way is abuse of downvote.
I tried to return downvotes and slow attacks on my account but the downvote lobby bullying group has so much steem power that me alone can not enforce policing this negative downvote armada lobby.
This is when started.
Negative downvote lobby attacked my account with excessive downvote force.

Result is devastating as you can see .
More than 40 days ago.
Can you believe my account is under attack for more than 45 days.
Untill Than my account was in good standing status no black listed.
As I responded to an downvote attack with questions and downvotes , i didn't even know who this people are.
They start coming to downvote me from every corner of the planet.
My biggest surprise was @theaustrianguy who downvoted my art poem post randomly. My question Is why? We even personally have met at conference class #steemschools and we spoke about how to stop spam 2 years ago. I was honored to promote his html instruction to steemeans.
Solution?
Number 1
In my opinion to make downvote mandatory with comment to post with reasoning of why downvote.
To allow steemitboard to evaluate each account in question. Subjective review has proven wrong in history of human kind.
We started steemschools 2 years to help steemit to reduce spam. We educated thousands how to stop spamming others.
Now this excesive downvote and downvote spam and abuse has to be under control.
This is voice of @flysky in search for solution for better and liberal decentralized steem coin.
Stop bullying and excessive downvote abuse.
For me excessive abuse of this kind of downvote applied to all my posts in last 40 days is form of abuse and spamming.
Solution number 2 More seminars needed on subject
I would invite all whales and steemeans to #steemschools for conference called "stop downvoting" so we can review better more positive use of downvoting and voting.
Road block is this negative abusive downvote rock.
One can only try.
We Win Together
I love steemit and I am for better solutions.
