Hey, awesome!
So much to get stuck into here!
The content doesn't bring the value to the entire system, it's the investors and speculators.
HUH? Naaa! No content no Steemit.
Cheeky question: Does that implicate 'No money, no talking?'
That is cheeky! What about: No stake, no money for talking? :p
The Proof of Stake ecosystem is going to make it tough to bring balance, ever. The more you have the more you will have in future.
There are and will always be some standout content creators who may be able to bridge the gap, but otherwise 'we' need amazing acts of kindness similar to what @fulltimegeek is doing.
For many dolphins and whales, it's business. You have to respect them for that, but we are certainly drifting away from
Your voice is worth something
Awesome! I hope you get lots of comments to keep you busy all evening and all week!
Great comment, thank you Ash!
Of course it's business. I don't want to challenge that at all.
It'd be fine if this was a closed room for investors and developers only. But under the current circumstances it's hard to label it with 'free market'.
Less than 0,5% deciding on more than 90% of the rewards pool is heavy. Do you remember how it was during 'the experiment' when @abit and @smooth provided us with supernatural voting power? It felt amazingly good that our voices were worth something and had a real impact on someone's life!
I only remember to get flagged like crazy and loosing my Rep. I am still wondering if that experiment actually made sense with results at the end?
Oh... But the flags must have been allocated for a different reason then, because during the experiment only whales who continued upvoting were downvoted to balance out rewards.
It made sense since the rewards were re-distributed to smaller accounts. I remember that my upvotes were ten times heavier than before.
That was no sustainable solution, but it showed possibilities.
Not true! I am not a whale, not even a Dolphin at that time and I got flagged by @smooth because some whale voted for me. I never complained and just moved on.
Then they balanced out the whale votes, that makes sense.
