It's simple, you say something a whale doesn't want to hear, goes against their principals or the principals of growing Steemit. As i've said before, i think the whales that are actively engaging with Steemit & Steemers are doing as good a job as they can, the best way they can in the present. However, in the future, when the Steemit community has more depth and there are multiple platforms for engagement with the Steemchain, the whole ecosystem will become more balanced. For now, just say what you think needs saying.
I think that rather depends on how you say it. I think we are all open to the idea that a new, well articulated argument has the capability of changing our minds. It you challenge someone in a courteous manner, there needn't be any unpleasant consequences to disagreement. It is possible to respect a person who's opinion are different from your own after all.
It certainly is possible... But there's an abundance of people who are incapable of accepting a view that contradicts their own. Look up cognitive dissonance. Very interesting psychological phenomenon.
You may well be right, but starting from a position where you have the highest chance of a positive outcome (and that does not include choosing not to challenge;)) is surely the most rational approach. Some pragmatism may be helpful when encountering a wall. Can't win them all and nor should you be able to.....that would mean you were always right! ;)
I can understand why you feel that way. I am engaging with the platform in a way that is fun for me and I hope, fun for Steemers. I also vote for memes I find funny or insightful.
If I understand correctly....I think there is a very low minimum steem amount required per account in order to engage with the Steem blockchain. As long as you can produce content, you acquire votes.
That's a fantastic idea. Of course you may. Any memes i post are for the steemit community. I hope they bring you lots of SP but more importantly, enjoyment to fellow Russian speakers!
Teach me how to whale-bait @benjojo!
its my bait lol

Won't saying something that goes against a whale's principles deterr them from voting for you?

Wow you are very intelligent sincerely well said rebuttal!

Wait... irony? haha
You get it from Whales ? O.o
This doesn't deserve even 1% of the money it's getting right now

This is self-irony) @benjojo has a good sense of humor
Why u are so serious?
Dude, go read @benjojo's other posts then tell us he hasn't earned the whale's attention...
Don't be butthurt.
You are very kind.
It is strange to hear this from a whale)
so many whale hunting trawlers out, we're gonna hunt them to extinction (indifference)
how much SP is necessary to get to upvotes? thank

thank. sorry... :)) I well know Russian , but do not know English. I am looking for help
No worries at all! Having more SP gives you the ability to award more to the content you vote for.
I will translate your wonderful posts in Russian , if you let
That's a fantastic idea. Of course you may. Any memes i post are for the steemit community. I hope they bring you lots of SP but more importantly, enjoyment to fellow Russian speakers!
