For some time i accepted that as an excuse, but apart from that it just looks horrible that there even IS an option to downvote..
It is like working to buy a car (write posts) then some asshole rips the mirrors of your car simply because they can get away with it.
So your argument is kinda lame. Freedom does not mean that im free to kick you in the balls 10 times a day because i have money and you don't.
And if you don't get that then I wonder WHY you don't get that.
Are you just a fake account of one of them? Or did you just never think that far and cared to look at this from another perspective.
I have no idea who you are, not accusing you of anything.
It is not about the power. That line of thinking only applies to people WITH power who are not able to see how awfull it looks for the platform as a whole when a bunch of auto-farting assholess are shitting in the reward pool 24/7. ..and then people say aaah, 15 SP thats nothing... IT IS NOT about the power, it's about the little black holes...
just my 0.000000000000002 cents
Steem is like the wild west with no official lawmen. We have to act like vigilantes if we encounter outlaws and that is why we have downvotes. Otherwise how can we combat excessive self-voting or buying of votes for junk posts. As part of @steemflagrewards I have seen it all. Without people like that Steem would be much worse than it is. Many of us care about making it better because we want it to keep going and for good content to get rewarded. I have taken out Steem before to buy stuff, but for now I am just powering up so I can do more to achieve these aims. We all win if Steem grows.
Is there such thing as a Cyber Vigilante Manual?
How to teach people that kissing ass is not the solution?
Well what they did with the soft fork really shows us what kind of game is being played. And unfortunately that will be impossible to undo, as far as I understand it.. This 'should be a warning' for every blockchain, and the users of all blockchains.
The way I see it there are no winners if the bullshit keeps flowing. When someone gains 10 cent and the shit ass that was needed to be kissed to get those 10 cents, makes 1000 steem, and uses that to shit on 1000 people.... Then the 10 cent enabled the bullshit for 1000 more people.
So who is winning is certainly NOT 'we all' is it?
I'm not a positive thinker... But I do think more positive then positive thinkers when i see though the shit. :-)
What a shitty comment...
Whatever. I can see you are not interested in my opinion. Go in peace
