I'm not talking about investment losses, I lose on possible gains every day by opening myself up to retaliation downvotes and running and delegating my stake to a project that's not mainly aiming to create profits for the delegators, but the big base of creators. I don't get paid for anything I do. And I don't care, because I only look at the big picture, not my own rewards. They're nothing compared to what I and everyone else here can gain when steem manages to give fair rewards to everyone, not only those with investor friends.
You are part of a colluding group that trades votes, and have been upvoted for spam copy & paste posts as a result of that. You know it, and everyone else does, because steemcleaners keeps showing it on everything you do. You are a fully valid target for downvotes by definition of the whitepaper, not my own.
And I explain again: not I choose who to downvote. That's up to the users, based on the whitepaper. There are many who don't like to see people voting each other only, and as long as you do that you will get downvotes from them.
That you keep complaining and calling people names instead of admitting you've been only looking for gains for yourself doesn't help at all.
I disagree with you here almost on all counts except one.
You are trying to help steem in your own way.
