Interesting. I am not sure how good the crab bucket works. I just had the case were I called out a fellow minnow out for self-vote abuse and spam and in the end I could only solve it by contacting officials and whales.

@ats-david talked to the abuser after I got a resteem by @berniesanders...

I think a major problem is the sunshine and rainbow mentality of Steemit coupled with many people taking crticism like that way too personal.

I think I am on good terms with @andyluy (abuser that I accused) after all of this. I am the Doctor and he is the Master, even though he might believe those roles are swapped. And I am really happy this didn't escalate into an "insult war", but I don't think it was far away from it.

Having seen how little my normal followers wanted to get involved in the topic showed me that the crab bucket is barely working.
