CALLING OUT THE WHALE THAT BLAMED MINNOWS . READ MY OPINION OF YOUR POST !

I can't find the post that you wrote complaining about the trending page or I would have put your name in BOLD letters.

I was reading a post from a whale #1 where he was pointing out another Whales (#2) behaver on the Trending Page .
There were three consecutive Post saying that he (whale#2) was going to make a post shortly . Each post a one line entry stating that an upcoming post was coming , advertising it in different terms . Basically " I will make a post soon " "the post will be done soon ." "I will up load the post tomorrow ". Each of these post made the Trending Page with numeris comment stating how excited they were in anticipation of the upcoming post .

The Whale's (whale#1) point was , how was this quality content and deserving to be on the trending Page . He is absolutely correct in his opinion on the content . At best it is nothing more then advertisement . He went on to state that as A Whale he has a responsibility to help improve the platform . Even if its to take on another Whale or a higher earner with many followers .

Now what should he do ? As minnows what do we expect of him ? What would be the appropriate response to the one who put forth such low content that undermines and abuse the intent of the platform .

As minnow we feel that we don't have any power to directly effect an outcome . Our voting power is small . Our reputation is dismal at best . One Flag by a Whale will knock us back to the Facebook age . So we relay on the Whales to keep some kind of stability , Fairness and of course quality content .

The Whales decided to do nothing . I cannot find the post with the Whales name is or I would Have called him out directly . What also got me was that he indirectly and directly blamed Minnows . Minnows for God sakes . His comments kept me up going over and over his statements in my mind .

His comments on Bots I appreciated . How the poster (whale#2) spent his SP to promote his advertisements . How and why the investment in the Bots paid off for him . Why Bots are successful . People or supporters of Bots pay for them because they work due to the people who complain about Bot supporting the people who use Bots .

As far as its Minnows fault that the advertisement posts work and drew so much reward for the author is ABSOLUTLY correct . We as minnows suck up and kiss every whales for the chance to have a little light shine on us . Supporting every bad behavior and shit post that comes across our screen . If the post has a reputation of 70 or above we race to get our comment in no matter what the comment says or the content of the post . Hell lets be honest and say we don't even really read the damn thing .

The Whale did the right thing and showed mercy on the Minnows . He should have Flagged every minnow that supported the crap out of a those post . The way to change a system is not from the top down but from the bottom up . I am not saying that sometimes someone at the top needs to be removed but that they do not have the power that the majority has .

Minnows are not free for responsibility or accountability . Its time that we stood up and be counted . Not as a follower but as a leader in this platform as our rightful place .

The use of Bots should be disclosed in a post the same as giving credit to sources .
