The automated explanations of the downvote are bullshit. I am seeing posts that have zero whale upvotes being downvoted by these "experimenters". And they have not defined the terms or parameters of their "experiment" so there is no useful data to be gleaned from all the turmoil they are fomenting.

They are trying to counteract a supposed over influence by some whales by an arbitrary and non-useful "experiment" that cannot produce accurate and useful data but can create enormous turmoil in the community.

The arrogance of their automated downvoting is stupefying and would be laughable if it were not causing such harm. Valuable contributions to our platform are being harmed and users are becoming disillusioned.

Downvoting requires conscious deliberation in order to not cause far more harm than good.
