RE: Upvote Myself no More

in #steemit7 years ago

I agree in that I think it is a noble thing to do. I think that if you split your upvotes 50/50 you can benefit from your hard work while sharing it with others as well. I likewise had this feeling until speaking with a few higher rep stemians who told me in simple terms that they could not of gotten where they are without upvoting along the way. It's a tough moral decision really... success or purity.. when is it to much, when does self promotion become abuse.. etc

Sort:  

I think that is not just noble it is necessary. Less than 50 whales own the majority of steem and starting flag wars mercilessly downvoting each other. It is like throwing nukes. I, you, or some of your mates here can be evaporated in a second by some evil whale coming at you because of honest comment or for him provocative post. Critical mass of people on Good side is essential. Free speech is threatened with this situation.

I agree, I think there is certainly a power disparity here between those that have and those that have not.

For those who have a lot moral obligation is to support those who are weaker and to promote social network of the platform. Weaker are the base and if the base crumble also the wealthy will crash into dust.
