I did that at first too but now I'm just Upfront's b*tch, since these two PVs are way too good to give a thumbs down to.
The PVs are really great, but that's not the point. I feel that we might be able to make a difference not just with downvotes but also with less views. I also really love what H!P releases, but the reason I loved them was the ease of reach and support to fans besides the content. See my reply to Denki for more.

That's the thing though, I can understand if it was only this release but they've been doing this with other releases and even live performances on upcoming are not complete sometimes. I don't want them to become like Johnny groups where their releases are not easy to find legally online. The whole reason they have been doing so good is because many people are viewing their content and they reach a large audience, also overseas. If you care about the groups and their success, then you would fear their influence will be affected when less people get to see their stuff. I don't understand the mentally some Japanese companies have.
By down voting regardless of content, they will hopefully change their policy when they see it affects their bottom line.
