Those whom buy upvotes on the 6th day to try and game the system.

I come back from time to time to see how steemit is doing. I was surprised to see whales and even witnesses (!) selling their votes. I knew they frequently upvoted their own posts, but this was a new twist. To be honest, if I returned to writing here, it would be tempting to buy some votes for a post withing the 3 days Grumpy suggests. It seems steemit is a money pit for whales but doesn't offer financial rewards to regular writers (unless they align with a whale). Maybe this will help.

That does seem to be the case in many instances.. But I still have faith that the regular guy can make it if they put in the effort and work hard enough.. pick the write topics, write good content etc. This place is like the game of survivor... you have to make alliances, vote people off the island, find immunity idols etc... It's interesting... lol

I guess. I've rarely seen a writer get decent money for posts who either didn't buy a lot of SP or get support of one or more whales. It would be nice to see a more equitable system. But I do support your efforts here.
