We have seen the experiment going on prove that the only people that matter on Steemit are the whales, and their sycophants.
Everybody is mad.
I'm mad because my $2 post had to be down voted,though I probably have the least rewards of any of you with my time in service.
I don't think the experiment cared that the dollar taken from me was a far larger percentage of my overall wealth than the $20 they took from a pawn of the whales' bot front running game.
The widow's mite, yo!
Until the bots take into account the newbies/unpopular content creators overall rewards taken from the platform as a metric if how much vote weight to attach to the downvote I will be less favorably inclined to support the experiment.
I get the idea, but the execution is lacking.
If I have only taken less than $200 from the platform in rewards, taking a dollar from me hurts me a lot more than taking a disproportionate amount from someone that has been on the whale tit for the last year.
Capisce?
And before you get all high and mighty about how much you contribute to the platform, and how excellent your content is, remember, the whales were simply setting up a money laundering scheme and you, and your content, were pawns in their game to set the bots to front run the votes from their whale accounts.
They are counting on you to raise a fuss so that they can go back to farming you.
Not because your content rocks, but because crapitalism.
If you are here, and you like to think that you are an anarchist, that you just want to help the world be a more cooperative place, remember that the dedicated anarchist left us just the other day over crapitalust control of his work, and all that is left are the crapitalusts to whom the only valuable metric is the bottom line.
Old boss, same as the new boss, get back to producing, slave.
If they can't make a buck here 'we' the 'excellent content' creators will be left hodling a bag.
Not that that is all that bad of an outcome, but it is going to be difficult for some to experience.
But,...we are on a crapitalust platform, trapped in a crapitalust world, sooooo,...what did 'we' expect?
Now just watch, someone will echo my sentiments, and make it to the trending page, while I continue to plod along trying to counter the ignore list that I feature so highly upon,....
Thanks for your time and attention to read my two cents,...
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
How to win in court for far less!!
