More nonsense.

Premine or not @ned or @dan never used their stake in efforts to undermine anyone and certainly not to undermine the function of curation.

He hardly considered anybody but himself since he first stepped on the scene here.

What are the preminers actually guilty of?

Upvotes are free, it's not only that but upvotes come with curation rewards so they are more than free, they are profitable without being sold. In giving to yourself you undermine the function of curation and display the greediness that is labeled as abusive. If everyone bought votes and voted for themselves nobody would come here, period, it would turn into a bitconnnnnnnect Ponzi scheme in a heartbeat.

By subverting how curation works, both for reputation and the popularity of articles you are actively abusing the system. In a videogame that is the equivalent of spawn camping, or camping the spawn of equipment. It's usually an instant ban, or you get labeled a camper and the only people who are going to remain and play are the newbs who don't recognize what you're doing.

The opportunities you see don't have any consideration for the cost on the rest of the players and the place as a whole. That's why servers are abandoned in video games, because someone takes advantage of the "opportunity" to be a total douchebag.

If everyone bought upvotes and upvoted only themselves this place would not exist and there wouldn't be any opportunities for people to actually publish something that isn't completely cacamany and self-serving.
