For clarification:
At no point did @dantheman mention steem or steemit in his post. He is talking about voting in general.
I and others have taken liberty and expanded it to discussions about steem and steemit, but that is not what his original post was about.
It was more like a larger view essay similar to those you'd expect @larkenrose to be writing.
So if you want to debate/discuss the steem/steemit perspective join me and others in doing so, but do realize he was actually talking about this on a macroscopic level and not specifically about the platform we are all addicted to here.
