This was back in the old steemit days in 2017 I refused to join in so didn’t last long there but I was invited to private rooms with this group of not whales but biggish guys, at least one who is now a witness, im sure more . They used to laugh at all the newbies and decide who to take to rep 1 and flag the shit out of them. Maybe cause the person had a different opinion or they just didn’t like them. They would find any stupid excuse to do it too like now they use ‘ over rewarded’ as a blanket excuse back then was trying to pick up on any minuscule plagerism like someoen bad used a photo in a post etc. They upvoted each other and just laughed and picked on newbies. Being nice to them in the main chat area and slagging them off in the private chat room. These ppl are just down right bullies. I can give all the names of people in that room and you’ll see they never got a downvote.
One thing I can tell you, when ill-intentioned people run something you will never see progress. Another thing I understand very well about the markets, when someone sells a lot the price collapses and if they over reward themselves believing they will make a profit in the end they will see losses when their investment is worthless because they simply treated a system so beautiful as HIVE as if it was a cow to be milked.
I agree, these ppl ruined steem,, moved here and are ruining hive. I mean keep a hand in on everything as ultimately its finding the nice community within the platform, the platform is just that a platform. I like the idea of blurt though as it's no downvotes so you can't get a handful of ppl dictating by just using their power to flag anyone they disagree with - don't like etc It's a bit more of an even playing field and everyone seems lovely,, it would be nice if ppl couldmake it grow as no downvotes will eliminate these power hungry bullies, it's the only power they have.
I can give you a list of all the active users in that chat and you can go search them and see not one of them has gotten a single down vote despite getting highly paid posts regularly.
No, please don't, I'm just familiarizing myself with the environment and it's horrible to think that there are people like that.
Besides, I don't think someone like me could do anything at the moment. Maybe in the future I will invest a lot of money, then I will make sure to penalize whoever is abusing. But for now I'm just an observer trying to blend in.
Don’t worry those days are gone they aim for middle people now lol now your left alone entirely and not helped but not bullied till you start getting around 40 dollar posts. That when you need to be careful lol. Or just accept what it is and get in a few platforms so there are options.
