I've been waiting for this moment.
In the last 15 months I have written over 5000 posts. Over 90% of them comments. I have always worked here with mind and heart and tried to act according to my principles.
What has bothered me for a long time are self votes. And that not little! It takes the possibility for me to build up an honest account with a good reputation. If it is said about the Steem, that those who vote for themselves and buy votes, which usually already have more than enough (Steem), vote for themselves here.
I now have 2300 Steempower on my wallet. Most of it, I bought myself. Others do that in a few weeks what I have saved myself laboriously. Still others don't even get to enjoy as much power as I get together. Simply because they are too poor and do not live in an industrialized country.
I stand for these people. Because until now I was poor more or less voluntarily. Money pissed me off. Because you get it easily, when you know how. Usually real hard work is not required. We can see that very well on the Steem. And because I'm not afraid of downvotes as "revenge" of other and big accounts anymore and they would only play into my fingers with it in the long run.
I will downvote every bigger account in the future that votes itself. Also with bots.
I wish you a lot of fun trying to stop that. I don't mind if my contribution is voted down. I have already got used to it as a precaution. By the way, I will also downvote contributions from which I say they have not earned it, or at least should be worth less in the payout.
I therefore deliberately lie down with those who can't do that. I don't care, what anyone thinks about it. Or it doesn't matter, if someone thinks, that Hardfork is to blame. It just played into my hands. Like some behavior that I don't want to see but still could observe long enough to have a firm and strict opinion.
I am curious, how they will react to it.
Of course each Downvote is justified. Except for those who vote for themselves. Because I have done that hereby in detail. I would like to reach with it that a waking up takes place. It seems to me to be the perfect time for it. Few Steemians of many years get to feel now, how a new one feels here. Because I still am and I am new in the Internet.
Therefore I will accept from today on nothing more to earn and be so cheeky to simply continue.
I am sure this measure will bear fruit.
Let us try it out.
Love greetings

Edit say:
Imagine how far-sighted people have become... (Exceptions confirm the rule)
Instead of distributing the votes in the community and thus achieve that you get a higher reputation and more followers. Vote yourself. Stupid. But there you see that the purse must have nothing in common with the intelligence of its wearer. Only greed leads to such a counterproductive result. Apart from the image damage seen externally. The own investment becomes thereby less value. Next BIG FAIL of our greats wise Steemians. I've been getting a kick out of it since I've been here to see this and now I'm going to start to stink at it. Shouldn't nobody be able to say about the Steem, that hardly anyone has the balls to talk Tacheles, if he is invested himself. ;-)
