RE: STEEMIT COMMUNITY NEWS: Steem BnB / Lord of the Steem / Hark Fork 19 - Staying Positive
I don't know man, I'm the furthest thing from a whale so I feel like I can say this with a measure of unbiased opinion.. but if I was a whale and poured as much time & money into my steemit, surely I must have the right to choose whether I upvote my own posts or not. Some people have sewed the seed long enough, I think it's appropriate that they can reap the rewards; maybe to a lesser degree than the mentioned "chronic self-voters" but everything in moderation.
Great reply Donnie. Can't disagree with what you say. The way we see it... posts for everyone have dropped to 10-20% of before the Hard Fork. It hurts no matter who you are - as it is all relative. And you want to try and make up that shortfall. Whether this is in the best long term interest of Steemit remains the question though.
And if we're honest... if the whales are looking after themselves via steemit, they'll continue to invest into this platform, increasing the value of Steemit and in turn looking after the rest of us.
