you shouldn't write to appease steemit. Look at my post with the picture "Fuck Steemit" basically whales have been upvoting their own bots then mass voting content that might do well to chase curation rewards. Also 1% own 90% of the SP...
Basically barry where ever i see centralized capitalistic greed chasing person i like to crush them just like they did to every single person they did because of the greed.
Thats what is happening and i hate it. I love steemit but i will not support their greed. Not all of the whales ofcourse. (You are a whale of sorts, i bet your vote carries huge weight and adds decent value!)
