RE: Whales No Up-Voting Test
I do know the feeling of working hard and not getting to see my loved ones or do things that bring joy to my life.
I also know what it is like to spend days writing a great post to have it earn hefty rewards and also make less than a nickel.
U see i spoke out about what i saw was happening a couple months ago and pissed off every guild and whale and never had decent successful rewards wise post since. Not in 2 months. Though my following continued grow and my comments section was still a hit.
I still write about the same things and for a while after i still put in the effort.
Steemit is about politics more than content or its quality.
This experiment will prove that and so i can see why so many people are oppse it.
At the end of the day its just for a day or two. If this experiment is so bad then after its finished things will go back normal.
If the experiment has merit maybe it will change some users habits.
This isnt just to make newbies wanting a slice of the pie who just got here.
I dedicated my life to steemit. I welcomed hundreds hundreds, i gave advice and pointed people in the right direction. I promoted my fellow authors on and off the platform. I have over 470 followers. Most of my posts have very active comment sections.
I fit the description of an author who is well liked and appreciated by many here but it does not reflect in my rewards because the few people who can give me them dont like me for something i said months ago. I was not wrong this experiment will prove it.
I did nothing so bad other than expose an issue that is clearly being missed by many.
I too sacrificed my time and energy for this place. Not just the people in favour or in power
The problem is that if it were a PROPER experiment people would not be blindsided and left out (unless they are meant to be the control). What this was was nothing more tham a half assrd attempt at what? Changing the system for 2 days?
Nothing in have seen even tells me what SPECIFIC datapoints they are trying to tease from the community :P
