This is penultimate. The whales are dominating the entire platform and if the platform doesnt change to stop the vote power hoarding dynamic and letting great content go un-upvoted we are going to lose a lot of new users, and ultimately STEEM will tank, because all the people with lots of SP are just sitting back, throwing out some SBD for contests, and not adding anything of substance to the platform and saving all the voting power for themselves and a few buddies. This could really tank the entire platform if not fixed soon. People should be free to upvote what they think is good, and not upvote themselves. People won't upvote or give so few and worthless that in 5 days it is worth 1/10 of what it was @ 12hrs post-post. Great info you definitely deserve as many upvotes as views! I would resteem but I want to hoard this information for myself haha. Since self interest is now the most valuable thing on Steemit 👎 This thing needs to be fixed asap bc I for one am really not enjoying spending hours on a post to get $1. Not even worth the time to create content and if that becomes the norm new users will not stay and Steemit.com will add nothing to the internet other than a few people who made a lot of money (not working at all) and a lot of others who spent weeks worth if time, months even, posting to get a few hundred dollars at best. And putting it all into SP while the whales cash out every day with $1,000 posts for a stupid contest. Sorry. Great post. Just super jaded with Steemit lately.
