I make so little now (joined last fall) that I can't imagine making even less. I will be forced to upvote not the little guys like me who I vote for now out of solidarity, but those whose posts make some serious money whether or not they deserve to. I'll be searching for money, not good content. I'm a bit worried I won't be able to stay on this site at all - it's already difficult to make a few pennies.
that is EXACTLY what will happen.
We will all autovote big accounts. How is that a proper direction for manually curating good content?
It's not. It's a situation that will increase us sticking close to whales and their posts - just so we can receive more crumbs.
nah. no thank you.
Unfortunately, that's the way of the world. I came to steem to try to find a way out of that.
Does anyone have a list of witnesses who oppose this? Maybe if we all switched up our witness votes lickety split?
if I had a list - I would switch it in a heartbeat - just for the chance that it would make a difference!
