Just a thought, could one argue you downvoted that post inorder to be able to make this post and earn more from this one?

Potentially, yes!

That's why I'm a bit hesitant to do this post. Took me a month of thinking. But to be honest, the reward that I may get from this post is very small compared to the downvotes I got in the past month (around $300).

And yeah, I agree, DV is still a grey area, hence there is always a heated debate around it.
