Recently, I wrote a blog post about AI in competitive programming. I admit it was a radical opinion on a very controversial subject, also written a bit poorly. Now I feel that I didn't express my opinions correctly, but needless to say, I will probably advance down to the last page of https://mirror.codeforces.com/top-contributed if I post more about it...
As I got -23 rating, I saw that someone who just posted 8 words: "This is the dumbest blog I've ever seen" got +10. This is not how blogs are supposed to work! My friends who are all grey/green are too scared of posting even a single comment. When reading other blogs, I found that other newbies/pupils also feel the same. Admittedly, about 75% of their blogs are not useful/absolute trash, and I can tell that people felt the same way about my blog. However, downvoting every single newbie blog discourages the remaining 25% of people from posting valuable information!
If you don't like a blog, then actually give a good reason for downvoting it instead of just saying that it's dumb, because then it clearly seems like you are so dumb you can't even give a good opinion. In my last blog, about 5 people actually gave good opinions/advice while the rest looked like they were deliberately trying to ragebait me. A flamewar started, and it was just an absolute waste of time while the majority of the posters (including me and my friend) got negative contribution.
When you downvote all newbies, they are all too scared to even try, and you call them cowards. This is not acceptable.
It's time to put an end to this newbie/pupil hate. Just because someone has a lower rating than you doesn't mean they can't have any useful information to share. If you downvote all their blogs, then you are missing out on the fun part of learning from other people because you scared them so much they don't even feel safe to share information.
If you have any objections/want to downvote, actually give a good reason otherwise you are just proving my point.
Else, upvote if you agree!

On a brighter side (ahem, sarcasm), here are 4 dumb ways to die (I might be posting some every couple of weeks if you upvote!).
1. Inject arsenic into your vital organs using an unsterilised rusty needle.
2. Give yourself a paper cut using an old newspaper tipped with nuclear waste.
3. Jump into a boiling pot of chicken broth, and then climb out (half dead) into a yard filled with starving dogs.
4. (This actually happened) Load up on nothing but beans at a buffet, then go into an airtight toilet cubicle and gas yourself to death.
