Downvote
Downvoters often perform their actions by going to the profile of a targeted user and downvoting all their sites. This can be(and often is) accomplished without viewing the sites themselves. Max has taken measures to prevent or discourage downvoters by deleting their accounts. At one time, Max deleted 2,211 downvoter accounts, reversing over 250,000 votes. Still, many users such as Samoht make it their goal to downvote more sites than anyone else on YTMND. There is a distinction to be made between extremely picking voters and a true downvoter who does not sit through the sites they vote on. [1] Some of the more famous downvoters (such as Adverb, inkdrinker, and Tehpwner2) remain on the user list and are active in their downvoting.
The opposite of a downvoter is an upvoter.
