In any war there are losers and winners. If you're on the so called "right side" you see benefits. That's how it was with wars like forever.
What you choose to forget in relationship with "my stake is bigger" is that somebody else expressed a choice before you and that choice is invalidated so you can have a bigger stake. That's abuse. That's how communism works. Believe me, I was born in a communist country. I know how this works.
As for @ned not taking a position is just sad. He is so young and already exploding his chances to be remembered well in the crypto world. Maybe he will pocket some millions now, but nobody will ever believe him later.
How would you address the problem steem has with how rewards are attributed? The current system appears to be broken. Would you agree there are major user retention issues that can be tied to how a massive disparity in stake effects the reward pool?
I made a few proposals and I was arrogantly dismissed by people in the Steem team. Specifically @abit who commented how "surprised" he is that I'm even a developer. How could I propose such nonsense... He eventually apologized but it was clear that he wasn't into brainstorming but following another agenda.
'somebody else expressed a choice before you and that choice is invalidated' This is utter nonsense. Everyone get a vote regardless of the order. If I were to downvote first but you thought the post is good and place an upvote after mine, are you 'invaliding my vote'? No! You are expressing your view and your right to vote as a stakeholder. There is no war here, only voting. Expressing views peacefully, via a blockchain is the opposite of war. Your overheated rhetoric equating voting on a blockchain with people killing each other and sometimes worse, is absurd and offensive.
I'm not gonna have this conversation with you. Based on hundreds of hours I spent watching interactions on the chat, I can clearly see where this going and I'm not going there.
Wishing you all the best.
