RE: Vote Exchange Club's Weekly Report is Out! A whopping 7314 Upvotes made last week
I do not believe I've misunderstood at all. Though, perhaps what I am wrong about, is that I was under the impression that the creator of the service was aware this was an automated circle-jerk voting system, and was using language to disguise it as something else. It now seems that, if you are the creator, it is not others you are manipulating with language - but yourself.
I don't intend to use the service. And as I said, I wont try and demand anyone else doesn't. I just appreciate honesty, and have witnessed the manipulation of language be used to lead people to make choices they otherwise would not far too many times. So, I wanted to say my piece for whomever was willing enough, and honest enough with themselves to hear it.
I have no qualms with you, and I wish you the very best of weekends.
Edit: Perhaps now I do have somewhat of an issue with you for censoring my opinion which your potential users ought to be privy to.
It was nice to meet you too. Maybe there are some other services we are building that you will like better in the future. Have you checked out steem-bounty? That should be more up your ally. I am just trying to build services that I think create value.
And you are right the flag was not needed. I have removed it.
Thank you for removing the flag. That is very big of you to admit, and a most unexpected, and very pleasant surprise.
I am somewhat familiar with steem-bounty program. I actually entered the design contest with these entries on my original account some time ago.
Thank you for reminding me of them, as I feel they might still have some use. I don't have any problems with the bounty program as far as I have observed. I too think it brings value and offers minnows a chance to earn where in other situations they may not have been able to. I do fear that before long the bounties may become like, "leave me a comment on this post saying how cool I am" etc. But, again, even if I disagree with that, it's not my place to judge - only to leave my opinion and hope that people hear it.
Thanks again for the level of maturity you have conducted yourself with in this correspondence. I could have been less arsey in my original message, so I apologise for that.
