Hey if we all get a portion of the pool, wouldn't 2 given from one and 2 taken from another still mean 2 was taken just twice, so once from the pool and once back in. Maybe that is why it's a Potential payout, because people can redistribute it. Still doesn't mean it's nice o see something given get taken away. The way of the world, here is a good link since I don't like trolling and I haven't done it soon, much less to you, but I have to say your comment needs some trolling, it requires it, snowflake needs some too, but I will extend you some courtesy

you can check how people "feel" do when offered on one hand to double what they have on the other to not lose what they get, they are much more cautious when they are wining and call it yeah I was given 5 so it's ok, but when they are "threatened" they act more irrationally so they are more likely to make a risk not to lose than to make a gain. I was looking for the video but I can't find it, it's a normal fallacy.

It's potential because the math sums change over time due to other votes.
If you are the only post, and get the only vote, you get all the pool, until a whale votes and then the pool goes to his benefactor and you get bupkiss.

Nice system they set up to reward themselves, huh?

Thanks for sharing. Feel free to troll me anytime. I'm Bulgarian :)

I can see that content matters to a point, my content matters so little that the whales nipped me in the bud when I @schattenjager'ed them before that was a thing, tyvm.

My concern was that those fattened on whale largess, taken from us all, should pay back more to the bot than those of us that have feasted a little less.

what do you mean by "when I @schattenjager'ed them before that was a thing " also is it @schattenjaeger instead of "@ schattenjager"?

Yea, you are correct, I misspelled it.
He told the steemguild to take a hike and stop voting on him.
Whereas I called them out from their inception.
It's stinking echo chamber that feeds it's self at the expense of everybody else.
I knew from the rules they first put out that it was bs.
It only is thing because the whales backed it.

Ah. I see. Yeah, I don't think the guilds are any kind of a solution as long as they are getting paid in votes. They're more like investment firms making money off of other peoples money.

Well, when you band together for power you are no different than a crip, blood, or republicrat.
Insiders necessitates outsiders, and which do you think I fall in?
