Well it isn't a win win when the cost of those books and delivery is coming out of the rewards pool here. Do you really think this video and message was worth the money he's taking on it? Do you think it's really fair he can get away with it because he's been gifted with delegation that gives him the power to rape the rewards pool? I for one resent having to pay for such a useless endeavor. There's a measly 411 followers on the New Orleans Libertarian FB page and no one's even posted there since 2016....what a waste!
Well it’s his upvote and he can choose whatever he would like to do with it. I don’t see the people who Delagated the steem power complaining. Until the rules are changed I see nothing wrong with it. As far as I look at it it’s fair game and honestly don’t give a rats ass. I’m more concerned about people being assholes and thinking their better then everyone and not even taking the time to give an upvote for a nice meaningful comment, or taking the time to say thank you. @adamkokesh has taking the time before to reply back to me, and he’ll I’ve even got some nice upvotes from him. So it’s not like he’s keeping all the steem power for himself. Hell he even gives a 7% upvote to a curation trail to over a 100 people!!! So tell me how is he not making steemit a better place?
When he decides to use 120,000 of reward pool money to distribute his book to every address in New Orleans.
why not reap the benefits of your investment? That is the incentive to invest into the platform. If one does not upvote themselves the can sell their vote to get similar rewards. Its all part of the eco system. Why does somebodys success bug you so much?
That endeavor is a HUGE waste of money and everybody on the platform is paying for it. He doesn't stand a chance in hell of ever being president. Ever. He knows it, the Libertarian party knows it, as a matter of fact the Libertarian Party is starting to throw everything under the bus and used ex-politicians just for name recognition, brand into their platform. Adam is at the bottom of their potential list, they will never nominate him. They just aren't going to take a chance on, I am being quite frank here, someone whose high in most the videos he puts out. Reality is reality, anarchy will never reign here, they'll never allow it, people don't want it. He's forcing everyone else to pay for his useless endeavor, it's not chump change being taken from the system. Adam has found a way to make a living selling a snake oil sales man's pitch, that's all good in itself but not at the expense of people who don't want to participate at that kind of level.
That’s a great argument you have there. I can respect that point of view. Even though I don’t entirely agree. I would say no libatarian will ever be elected since the system is rigged in favor of the mighty dollar. But that’s a whole different story. What I’m trying to say he invested into the platform, also the person who delegated the steem power invested into the platform with their money. So why hate on what someone uses or in your point of view wastes money on. It’s not like they are stealing from us. You and I can both invest money in steem power and do the same thing. Now there are people who hog the steem power to themselves and never upvote people and you know who I’m talking about. That’s pretty fucked but again people invested that money to earn that right. But let’s be real even these people raping the system, there’s still a chance for us regular folks to earn some of that money too. But the real way to earn more money is to invest more into the platform. And the more we invest the more we can take from the reward pool and we can take that away from the bad actors.
The best way I can put it is the second that you actually do something positive and are really successful people come out and start judging you on how you should spend the money and if they are not directly benefiting they have more of a voice in where you should put your money.
Then of course there is the no snitching philosophy where it is none of your business and who the hell cares what they do with what they have?
If somebody wants to write a book with what they have learned here and everybody has supported that.... well apparently this person had a lot of haterade today.
And I am excited to see any positive project succeed especially when succeeding means that there is more freedom for the people.
Remember Emily Lopez!
Yeah your right. Remember though when you get to that point there will be someone out there like him (and as you pointed out others...only doing other selfish meaningless stuff) that will cut into your share of the pie. That's the whole point. It's distributed accordingly but no matter how big or small of a take you earn from your power that take will be smaller because someone wanted to buy and mail a copy of a book to everyone in New Orleans.
I don’t agree with every idea expressed in your comment, but this much is right on.
