RE: Just in case I haven't been clear...

in #steem6 years ago

Hi berniesanders - While I agree with you to a point, don't you think that having whales with massive Steem Power can be problematic? Would you agree that they have the power to dictate what's allowed to be seen? Sure, we can post whatever we want, but a whale can flag our post to oblivion. Is Steem really what 'we' make it or just what 'the whales' make it? What are your thoughts on this?

Sort:  

Barely any of the "whales" participate at this point outside of selling votes. I don't see it being a major problem.

You seem to be the only whale I have ever seen posting regularly like this. Also I imagine that if someone was getting destroyed by downvotes for saying stuff that is important or controversial it would likely just cause a flag war right?

Haha, oooh fuck. it just remind me a not so good video of a great legendary man: mr.Weebles, a "rescue whale" now, You say we can have a "censor whale" or "commie whale" ? (no offence bernie :O ;D)

is that really the math? only 5% difference? - if it is that is just crazy....

Nobody can prevent any other post from being seen, no matter how much SP they have. Flagging doesn't send a post "to oblivion"; every flagged post is still entirely visible for anyone who wishes to look at it.
