This is really bound to happen when there aren’t measures in place to avoid such a hugely uneven distribution of wealth. This is the same system as the world economy but on hyper speed. I love the community here but something needs to change wihth the algorithms and structure of the platform in order to make it more equal and sustainable. I’m thankful this is occurring now, as it may be early enough for proper changes to be made.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There are measures, they simply aren't being deployed with any will and co-ordination. Steemians with steem power need to step up and start flagging.
whawhat measures are there to keep big whales from growing exponentially and the distribution of wealth to somehownstay well distributed? Just flagging?
If this keeps up, steem will be history because everyone will leave and go to other platforms that are not as abusive. Whales can limit themselves or be moderated by other whales or a collective.
I just looked at your profile:

It seem that you do not support anyone here. Never upvote anyone. Never comment. You stop posting. And just downvoting random people (I was one of them). It's not people like H. that are making this place leave but people like you. Unfortunatelly you're not doing anything to help community, but you're only damaging it.
What for?
You understand nothing about what I am doing or why and I'm afraid I don't have the time to explain myself to you. I will say this, get your facts straight. What you have said is demonstrably false.
Hi @benjojo
Thank you for your kind reply.
I may not understand nothing about what you're doing but I really tried. I wont lie: I'm very new on this platform. I joined just 1 month ago but Im doing my best to create quality content, I engage with people, comment their posts. Im trying to help this community grow.
And all of sudden for no reason Im receiving downvote from you.
Without any explanation, without any warning. I've spent quite some time trying to understand why did you downvote my work (which obviously reflect in losing some of my rewards) and I failed.
Im glad you replied and I will be happy if you could help me get my fact straight. As I am not looking for a fight. My life (as many others) has been long and difficult enough and Im reaching out to you because I want to avoid similar situations in the future. I want to avoid becoming accidently part of some flag war that may be happening out there.
Hope to hear from you and thank you for your time.
Yours, Piotr
piotr, given the courtesy of this comment, I feel I must take the time to respond. The main reason I downvoted your post is because it was trending primarily as a result of paid bot services. I felt the post was over-rewarded. It was not personal and certainly not part of any flag war. I do what I do for my own reasons and I am not colluding with anyone.
I want the best for steemit and steem. If you examine my interactions with the Steem blockchain, hopefully you would conclude the same.
I'm sorry to say that Steem/Steemit are not doing as well as they could be. I hope that changes and I'm doing my part to try to highlight the issues.
I wish you well.
@benjojo, where can I reach out to you? Are you on discord (couldn't find you)? Thanks for getting back though :-)
The best place is here in steem, happy to respond in here. All the best :)
Or I'm on telegram if that helps?
At the same time we don't need to wait around until that is optimised. Surely there is a possibility for a community-driven solution? Something along the lines of a conglomerate of Steemers who peer review and help promote content in strategical ways?
Of course there is. Organisation and co-operation. Witnesses need to be elected who will use their influence to moderate abuse. The community need to appeal to good whales, if there are any left, and entreat them to act. Or they need to band together under a single remit to counter abuse.
I’m certainly trying in whatever way I can and supporting others who do the same. I honestly think things have gotten better but there are lots of things I don’t know.
what measures are you talking about?
at least he is in a way contributing to steemit. I realized that all you currently do is downvote everyone like crazy. Noone, absolutely noone benefits. I just wrote article that took me 3 hours. It's a good post, commented by many friends and you downvoted it for no reason. It seem to be just a random downvote like many others coming from you.
I would appreciate it you would stop creating more conflicts. It doesnt server anyone.
Regards,
Piotr
