RE: Steemit Is A Scam! How Bernie Sanders Screwed Me!
I like the humorous way you have put this. I would be very very annoyed if this happened to me.
I don't agree with the precedent that this sets.
I think with your humorous tone you are pointing out that you will be OK but this sets a bad example which will lead to the little guys getting screwed as always.
Seems disliking a post or not agreeing it or thinking that it repeats previous information is now a reason for downvoting.
This is not what I understood downvoting to be about. The whole point was to reduce visibility of content that is fraudulent, steals others work or is is otherwise scamming and harming the community.
The example that is being set is terrible. Like it or not the minnows follow the example of the whales.
I do hope that the whale in question gives this more thought.
Yes, this event should create a conversation on downvoting and the role of the whales... that's a good thing. Steem is new and we all need to figure out the best way to make it work.
True. It certainly has people talking. These are teething troubles and I suspect most of these things will be sorted out before the masses get onboard. If they don't something else will come along that does solve these issues and does it better. It's how the market works. In the heyday of Myspace nobody thought it could be replace until it was by Facebook.
Those conversations took place even before you got here. Just sayin.
Yet, they fell on deaf ears a lot of the time.
