RE: Be Careful, Steem!

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!

Sort:  

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.
