Voting is not something for nothing since voting power is consumed. When the post gets downvoted and has 0 SD rewards, those who tried to get a reward are worse off than if they had not participated.

This is not true, I and the people who vote this post didn't lose anything.
Maybe just around an hour of full sp charge so if they vote within that hour their sp will be counted as 95%. (see 'Rate Limited Voting' here: https://steem.io/SteemWhitePaper.pdf)
