Maybe you're getting downvoted because you misused the term "negative feedback loop." As any beginning engineering student knows, a negative feedback loop is a system that tends to return to an equilibrium state when perturbed. A positive feedback loop is a system that magnifies any disturbance until the conditions change, because it's inherently unstable. When you engineer a dynamic system, you typically want it to have a negative feedback loop, so it doesn't blow up or something. In other words, the term "negative feedback" does not have anything to do with the social consequences. Using it this way is painfully stupid.
