Someone could write a bot and use the free 25% to counter all your votes. Nobody does but the technical, easiest thing to do.

I see all of this as potential attack vectors. The user experience for new users is really bad ( RC delegations should happen more, but i dont do it too, so i cant say a lot about).

A new user can write 3 comments or whatever and then runs out of RC. Most of us have way to much anyway. Something worth to think about.

And imagine someone makes a bot that downvotes all new users. Besides the limit, they have that would be a huge problem in user experience. Since it's a decentralized system, it is what it is.

Is not like they have a right for rewards, that's right. But there is a reason social media platforms remove dislikes on scale.
