If they vote 1000 users a day, they didnt vote the other 59000, eh?
But they sure made the votes those others did get smaller because of their advantage in sp amounts, huh?Ganging up to pick winners and losers, @curie, @msp, @smartsteem, et al, disadvantages far more users than it benefits.
It also sets the gang's controllers up as the 'kool kidz', as shown by your kowtowing to them.
At least they are trying?
Better we tell newbs not to vote a post with more than a couple bucks on it, that would encourage far more minnows than selecting .0001% of authors to be winners, at the expense of all other authors.
Taking 'profits' from the reward pool for anything other than creating content voted by individual users is reward pool rape, imo.
The sooner we get this across to the majority of users the sooner we can lose the insider circle jerk/money grab reputation that cant be helping the price.
I'm stunned with this level of hate you have for the @curie guild. Maybe as you said in one of your comments above, you have a long standing idea of the guild.I can't say more than tell you to update your idea of them. @curie by far doesn't fall in this category you have grouped it.
Excuse me?
Any gang that teams up to concentrate rewards to bestow on their favorites while denying disinterested third parties from getting rewards can kiss my,...
You do understand that when a whale votes everybody else loses money?
Dont take my word for it, ask @paulag.
Perhaps you havent looked around at how delegations to the favored few/most willing to pay has decimated curation rewards for everybody else.Maybe you werent here when @curie launched with ned's posting key to rape the pool so that only approved speech could gather more than a few cents per post, but i was.
You know the current state of affairs as normal, but i was here when the whale experiment was proving that taking the highest staked accounts out of the math raised the bottom.
Maybe you worship wealth like it makes somebody a better person, idk.
But i know what ganging up does to rewards for those that dont play along and kiss the gangleader's ass, first hand.
All you got to do is look at how my rewards have dropped off with the advent of the vote bots, delegation leasing, and vote selling.
If those things put quality content on trending and drove searchers to steem for content, i'd bite my tongue, but the facts are the exact opposite.
We are a joke, and that wont change until the rules change.
As long as ganging up is the preferred way to make money here, real people will avoid steem like the f'n plague.
They get enough of that bs in real life.
I will update my opinion of @curie when they apologize for screwing everybody that called them on their bs and disbands, at least then they would have that going for them.
make a post about it. send the link to me in memo
My whole blog is about this.
okay just relax then ..
