If people have the authority to boost themselves to the top of trending is that not similar to if YouTube censors some yet promotes others based on bias preferences? I have no opinion on his video. But then again I am not a male. The part that confuses me is about boosting ones self to the top of trending.. and the power to do it. I always thought steemit was user driven. I thought if I made it to a top post it was because others put me in that position? Now I feel a little bit YouTubed aka Facebooked =(
Can someone explain how this works to me please? I am newish (3 months on here) and I am still learning. Great video @d00k13 You made many valid points concerning the video. I will say one thing though.. I did not know who he was.. and now I do lol!

He is a witness that used to be in the top 20, as for the vote bots and trending.... it has a been a topic of discussion along with rewards pool rape with whales voting only on themselves like the haijin guy bernie is always after.... basically if you make it into trending organically then you are a very lucky/talented creator or you have earned the favor of not just one whale but a couple of them. Jerry is just one of those said whales with over 100,000 SP then ontop of that he boosted that crap out of his post via bid bots so this situation of him promoting his own content to the top of trending could IMO been better worked to go with the message I think he was trying to convey.
