Well, we experiment in Steem and forget about individual and global esteem, besides the bad image of steemit projected outside .
People are just numbers to play with, like numbers and black boxes with no feelings maybe just monkeys in a cage for an immoral "animal" experiment.
This is not an experiment it's a disruptive strategy for change in a social network with people.
Quote from my downvoted post today:
"Some contradictory philosophical problems on Steemit I would like to clarify all the possible strategies for change that can be used or are already happening all mixed and in collusion:
a) - Cooperative strategy: based on consensus where everybody has the power to participate and have influence in a collective decision, signs of an equalitarian society
b) - Destructive strategies:control self-interested groups inducing chaos or manipulation by trying to control the collective resources pool or creating proposals that affect the flow of resources, vision, and mission of the network, signs of a dissolving society.
c) - Hierarchic or Oligarchic strategy: propositions for a change of the community by 1% of power owners of organizations inside and outside the community and characteristic of a hierarchic society."
