RE: MONEY CANNOT REPLACE INTEGRITY: Why I Still Vote According To My Inner Compass Instead of Max ROI

in #whales7 years ago

I am not sure I would use the word " disgusting". He was being "Honest" with the users of steemit on how and why he votes the way he does. I don't think there is such a thing as "Disgusting Honesty". He obviously has a huge amount of respect for the creators of content. I would bet along with the dollar amount of those post, that the number of views,(prior) to him pointing them out was very low also. So while he may have not upvoted the post due to his own financial considerations he did Reward them immensely by bring so much attention to them. (I have not looked or checked to see if that did happen or not)
At first read it is easy to see your point of view of what he said. However on a second read, and reading the clarification comments he made to a few commenters, you may become a little less disgusted, and a little bit more understanding. I view it at a cautionary tale; be careful of where you travel, lest you become like me and sell your soul.
I do appreciate your comment, it helped me to see a little more into @snowflake 's post.

I rephrased my original comment, not to bury it so much as to simmer things down a bit... Thanks @bashadow

Fight or flight syndrome, it hits and we react. I am sure it was a hard thing for @snowflake to write. And it has gotten even more people talking, and discussing one of the issues that many have here on steemit.

@bashadow so maybe this is cathartic in some way, if so, that's a positive. You're right, it's not easy to be open, so hats off to snowflake there...

Better to address things earlier on, right?

Thanks b.a.!
