RE: To Downvoters and my ex-followers, I'd like to continue my blog
Hi Slowwalker it was obvious that earlier or later it will come this way.
I think the people bellow have a reason to celebrate a PARTY today they reached what they wanted to reach, to make one of the oldest investor to Power Down:
@OCDB
@curangel
@cervantes
@transisto
@theaustrianguy
@acidyo
@trafalgar
@smooth
@likwid
@joshman
@justineh
@justtryme90
@randowwhale
@lafona-miner
@delegate.lafona
@mmmkkk311
@sportsvoter
@eonwarped
@lebin
@holm
@leeyh
@waybeyongpadthai
@ctime
@joshmani
@ibc
@amico
Reading the comment chain it is funny how some of those people come and try to look innocent, like a white knight fighting for the right of Steemians. Actually that reminds me a dictatorship, bullying and even I have to think about the time when in early years of establishing of Soviet Union how the wealth of rich people, farmers were taken away with explanation now it belongs to the PEOPLE. Have we really reach that point?
What I also find funny, that those people are not upset about @slowwalker decision but just ready to accept his Steem Power as delegation, most probably to keep destroying others and having control on Steemit. The others are ready to buy his Steem. Maybe that was a reason behind of all downvoting to get your Steem Power for them?
I do not understand how such curation projects like @OCDB and @curangel can downvote constantly, If those people who delegated steem power to curation projects are aware about. Because we all know that there is Downvote trails and the people who want to give their SP for that know that. But those two are curation project and I am not sure if all the delegators know what the power is used for.
Unlike other here I would advice you @slowwalker not to delegate to anyone and not to sell to those guys, rather invest in any other cryptocurrency. I am glad you will keep posting, do not let them to stop you. You have many friends around because YOU ARE SUPPORTING MANY ACCOUNTS manually and on daily basis!
I would be not surprised if after this comment I will also be in blacklist of those above listed guys, but I do not care, I am FREE to tell what I think, nobody has taken my right for FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Cheers...
I support what you write here @stef1
This has now gone too far.
Downvote posts all the way down to zero that have good content get totally sick. They say that other posts deserve to come on the Trend page and they can do that for those who give the massive downvote the strength to do it with upvote as well.
I'm getting sick of what's happening here now, it's not often I get pissed and use ugly words, but it's just before now.
But can't you just post a button that says I don't want my post to come on the trends page.
Everyone is not keen on their post to reach the trends page. I, for my part, am not keen on my posts reaching the trend page.
Can't you also just add a button that says a I will not earn more than $ 30 max on my post and if there is more profit it will go back into the pool. That button can be similar to the slider we use today on upvote / downvote. right to simply set the max amount on it or lower
For those of you who think you have the solution with downvote have to think again, you are about to destroy instead of building the platform.
You will not be allowed to decide who I have as my friends here and who I support.
This is a social network and you have to understand it. you have to stop such an aggressive policy when you downvote a post to zero, it was meant to kill @slowwalker completely, yes you almost managed to do it.
You can't believe that you want to make his posts invisible, you have gone completely crazy.
Why hasn't this post to @slowwalker been downvote, so far it stands at $ 54 and see who has given the highest upvote, it's @pharesim.
**Now it looks like that post deserves $ 54, **
but not the usual posts to @slowwalker because then would surely downvote to zero again, Shame on you.
Agree with you @xpilar. Indeed it went way to far
I can only hope that @slowwalker will decide to stay around and will change his mind. It would be enormous waste for our community to lose him.
I also see being on trending page as some kind of curse. Attracting wrong kind of awzttention.
What would be your reason behind it?
ps. why was slowwalker downvoted so heavily in the first place? was it because he delegated to some bot?
Yours, Piotr
Hi @crypto.piotr
The reason for that is that I am happy with those who follow me today and appreciate what I do. I would like to call it a community in the community. I can't understand why the trend page is so important to those who are now doing massive downvote, maybe that's where they find the ones they want to downvote. I wonder how many posts they read each day because it seems like the time they spend is going downvote.
Because they must first read what people write before giving a downvote or maybe not?
@slowwalker has not used any bot or delegated bot.
It's all about earning too much and often coming on the trend side and what they call a voting ring. For example, that I vote for @slowwalker for a long time and that he gives me a vote back again. @slowwalker is my friend for several years here and of course he has over time built friendships with many here who vote for him and he has manually voted back on an incredible number of friends. But now some of those friends have gone against him and vote him down. This is not fair because now there is another agenda here. As you can see there is an upvote per now $ 66 for the post he wrote. They have beaten him under the belt and voted him zero.
But now they give him upvote again, This is a double morality when they first crush people
I agree with stef1 and you on this comment review.
Appreciate it.
thanks @aidasfg7
People seem to have so much self pity these days. I down vote what I believe is for the better. I don't have much if any contact with the majority of this list.
Slowwalkers content is fine, mediocre but fine. I just don't enjoy seeing 3 of his recent post in trending, especially because it all is because one big circle Jerk with people who are known to abuse the system in the past.
I support OCDB with my down votes because they are not afraid to take a stance against this kind of behavior. We are not a mafia, but a bunch of people who both have witnessed and knows how counter productive these kind of behaviors are to the community.
This is no dictatorship but actually just a response from the community. :-)

Look at the facts.
The minus team gives votes to the same people who are the best bloggers in New Steem.
There is no successful blogger who is not supported by the same group of people.
Now you must not vote for yourself, for the ones you love (the people you invited to invest the money as a brother, child, woman) because you need to vote for new users.
The idea of helping new users is a utopia because people connect naturally when you break that social aspect, it's totally absurd to write posts at all.
Steem support is finite, instead of giving downvotes the final output number should be made and inflation prevented.
Someone who has not invested a single cent is now acting as a judge, in which business model it is normal for investors to be disrespectful. These same users get rewards for posting one picture of a game, or 3 pictures of a mountain from the same lobby group that does justice.
Then whales don't need to tap posts and vote for themselves and their loyal servants, everyone should vote randomly for new users, and if that's the point then there's no need to write at all.
This is a new mistake that will cost us a lot more, why no one calls all the whales and orcs into the conversation, but rather something is done without question - normally when someone has the plan and interest to take down some whales and be the absolute ruler of the New Steem dictatorship.
The idea of supporting new users is a good one, but it is essentially utopian for a social networking site like Steemit, especially in this downstream way, and the same judges vote for their people - there is no realization.
This 💯

It's a shame how these guys policing and ruining steemit and steem.
These guys all support each other too.....making them the biggest circle jerkers off all time. Nobody should be buying Steem right now......just Join the KGB above and reap the rewards when anyone disagrees with you. Steemit is slowly dying and the group above are the centralized dictators.
Cheers
This is the real point of the story, everyone on the list has the support of the same group of people, and yet they think they can do whatever they want.
I am reading this further.
I agree with you.
Also look the words. "The big delegators " of course they are looking mainly for their benefits. This guys only care for big delegators. Now we can all see in comment. It is shame that for other smaller delegators they think of so little. Should they all know what is their downvote delegation pool used for???? For example nullifying @slowwalker posts and other censorship to steemit blogging freedom. Now we all see how small vision they have mainly for themselves and even smaller vision for steemit platform.
Oh don't worry. The big delegators all know what they do support. The downvote trails are even bigger, and growing.
The community is finally standing up against selling and trading votes. Only those who want to keep using the reward pool for their personal gains keep complaining. Those do not support the community as a whole, and we're better off without them.
Every steem that doesn't go towards self rewarders is available again for the rest of the users. That's why we see a lot of small authors earn more these days than before the free downvotes were introduced. This will allow the community to grow, and everyone who participates will profit.
You must be joking, @pharesim. Small blogs are dying here right now. It's carnage, as you can see in this post and especially in the comments:
Whale Tip! Only YOU Can Save NewSTEEM
Its hard to believe people are this stupid.
Downvote curation is even more important as we've seen what happens over two years when that doesn't exist, curation projects not using their downvotes are cowards and show how little they care about the greater good of Steem and mostly just about their own safety. Curation downvoting not only costs us time without anything in return for it but at the same time gets you retaliation and endless arguments by idiots wanting to live in the past and constantly receive higher ROI than honest curators.
I don't even know why I'm bothering to reply as I know there is no change in hell you'll understand what this is about and even if you do you won't admit to it.
I was not present here for few years.
Could you explain to me what is difference between vote bots and downvote bots in retrospect of curation.
I would appreciate.
Is this good platform at this point. How to make right choice of witnesses to vote and support. It is confusing.
After reading all of this comments one would be get confused.
Merci
@flysky stop pretending this is not you ahahahahha you really think we are morons xD
For those who wish to know more:
@flysky has his socket puppet accounts to extract value from Steem (even tho' he stopped when I exposed him). The accounts are @xboxguru @digitalboss and @hamletnow.
Who?
My name is Hamlet
What do you mean by WHO? You don't know flysky? :)
##I value your opinion. You are sharp businessman.
But deep deep down you know that platform is off course.**
**Stop by discord anytime so we can see together how we can all work together.
We Win Together.
Downvote to zero @slowwalker post is not the only solution for platform and I know that you see it here now.
"I had joined Steemit 3 years ago for the vision of no-censorship blog."
I was not aware that this small group planned this. Now all others know who nullified and destroyed
@slowwalker good blogging rewards and his invested time on quality content.
I hope @slowwalker will continue blogging and to be part of steemit with his original blogging legacy.
This is beyond investment.
"If we force someone to stop writing blogs for the reward with mass downvote,
it is not different from the strongest censorship, in my guess."
Well...
Yes I have downvoted slowwalker as I felt his content was over rewarded, as I have done many times to many different individuals.. it’s how it’s supposed to work. I’ve also upvotes hundreds of unique accounts a week as well as volunteered countless hours curating users, like yourself, for no gain of my own..
Yeah you’re right, I’m a horrible person.
I’m not celebrating and have said repeatedly I didn’t agree with the blind and excessive downvotes... but who cares about facts if they don’t fit your narrative.
also pretty sure votes have nothing to do with freedom of speech, but since that’s like beating a dead horse here, I’ll just leave it be.
Thanks for tagging me.
Why do you downvote @slowwalker
