Thanks buddy, you get it. Maybe you can help share this with the other Minnows as well. Again, I’m not here to Whale bash and it surely is sounding like it. BUT I need to be clear, look at it from a Whales perspective too, if I have a ton of minnows hounding me for my Vote 🗳 then that isn’t right either... People should be friends in here because it’s Genuine. ...and honestly hearing someone say “I got another Whale!!!” Just stings my ears.. know what I mean? The whale loses because his friends aren’t genuine nor real, and the Minnow loses because they aren’t truly being themselves and putting out content that is actually interesting and is what they want to write about. Know what I mean? They just keep putting out content that name drops whales 🐳 in hopes of getting votes. That’s not “going viral” like reddit. That’s kissing ass.. and honestly I started to do it myself, then the other night I was like “what the hell am I doing? This isn’t me.” ... and here I am now. Some pissed at me 😤 Some praising my action of bringing more awareness... I see A TON of Value here on steemit and don’t let some of my comments discourage you. I’m not perfect and I’ve been wrong many times before. I just want a more “fair” rewards system for Steemit newbs and those who are starting to invest their money into Steemit.
The Whales Personal ATM (aka Steemit Reward Pool)
Another thing that’s not being discussed is the fact a new Minnow can pay for Steem Power, literally buying it with their hard earned money, THEN a pissed off whale 🐳 could come along and wipe them out with “Down Votes”
Thus pushing their earnings back into the Reward Pool, which the Whale could write a simple little post and make $1,500 right back in seconds. So it’s not something that truly benefits the little guys & gals.
