Yeah I'm powering down for a week to support a project I'm building for the platform and to cover some other expanses.

Did you forget I was the first to send you some funds to help you out when you were in need? Afterwards I followed your childs account to vote his posts up too. Without knowing you one bit or having any ulterior motives - so please trust me when I say the experiment is for the greater good.

But sure, go further on the offensive instead.

I have not forgotten about all the great people on Steemit including yourself, I am not on the offensive and it makes the fact that I really loved Steemit all the more dificult to have to say goodbye.

Okay than, if an experiment that is supposed to make 95% of the users votes more value-able is the reason you want to leave, I don't know what else to say to that...

It makes my work I put in here feel even more gone to waste when users like you just give up because of something that is supposed to make users like you have more weight behind your votes.

The reason I responded so negatively is cause you decided to check out that I am powering down and use that as fuel for your argument which made me even more disappointed in your actions.

If people feel this entitled about posting rewards and cry when some are cut because of an experiment that is there for the greater good, I don't know what else to say than good riddance.

My thoughts of the experiment is that its about time it happened - users who have invested or earned a lot of SP have been leeching off the daily distribution pool for months now resulting in the price decline, although many of them are free to do as they want - many choose to create multiple accounts to vote themselves to more rewards while dragging down the whole platform.

Had it not started your votes would have been dust compared to what they are now (or before the hardfork) and the price would probably be laying around 5-10 cents instead.
