I love your posts and I have made some profit over the short time that I have been following you. I see that in this post, there are so many people that are saying "oh I thought you were saying it would go to 23,000" and such, completely ignoring the fact that you gave warnings of correction the day before and the day before that. They are ignorant (or just trolling) of the fact that there are so many possibilities that can happen and no one can be correct 100% of the time. You've been more right than wrong and I truly appreciate your work.

The way I see it, Steemit's system is broken. If one person is able to manipulate what gets seen and what doesn't get seen based on a few cents is asinine.

How about move your blog to a different platform? I would suggest reddit as a platform for your posts. You could create your own subreddit(your own page for your interests) and you could even have it so that only you get to post on the subreddit(people would still be allow to comment). Everyone has one vote per account and downvotes absolutely mean something there, eliminating the possibility of a troll. You can still give money to a good comment and it would have an effect, but it doesn't require one to put money in a upvote for it to mean something there.

How about giving it a shot? The worst scenario is that you waste a couple of hours. Best scenario is that you create a healthy community without the trolls.
