"I’ve listened to folks in the top tiers of Steem Monsters (some of the Mavericks and particularly one of the owners of Peakmonsters) refer to accounts like mine as “pathetic” and stating that they’d like to downvote us all."
This is one of the resaons why i think steem as a content platform will fail.
If you have elitists picking and choosing who can and can't post then people will just walk away. May as well be on youtube or facebook where there is less friction.
Steem will probable become a good utility tokens but steemit as a social media platform.. I don't think
It’s things like this that I simply just couldn’t stand anymore. I’m sure I could find several other examples too but this was the last straw for me personally. I’ve not even been doing this for all that long, maybe six months or so at the most but I just don’t have the patience for things like this. I’ll give other people credit for being able to shrug it off or just ignore it.
I'm sure they all be able to stew in their own juices when people leave.
Most of the videos i watch on youtube never speak positive of steemit
Down voting is just censorship by another name.
If everyone who posted , posted quaity content (whatever that is) and never looked at other peoples post then the system would fall apart.
As for the 50% rewards. If people are not manually voting then they are just voting for ROI and not for the qualityThey think #newsteem is great but downvoting people off the platform is not the way to go
But i guess it is what it is and you either make the best of it or you leave. Quite sad really
