RE: ⚠️ Another Admin Abusing Their Position with Booming Support - @milakz
I suggest that this information along with the update be published in a new post and placed in a more visible way. I have noticed that too many users in the steemskillshare community are not well-informed of what is really going on.
I have contacted every user who has delegated to the community account to inform them of this information and this post has been resteemed 19 times so if users are still unaware, then they will remain so.
There are some users which will choose to continue supporting this community in light of this information and so the community account and the upvotes that they'll distribute will continue. This will subsequently attract users desperate for upvotes and it's inevitable that the community will continue to grow and the leaders who have become corrupted with power will continue to profit (I've reviewed her account and see good intentions from the outset which presumably changed once the power of booming was bestowed upon her).
Beyond sharing the information that yet another community leader has decided to abuse the power that they've been granted, there is little more that we can do and as with many cases such as this, once the community has been informed, it's best to move on and find the good that lies elsewhere.
We just have to hope that the Steemit Team digests this information and decides whether they wish to support this community - knowing that the booming upvotes have been abused, even if the shared wallet and shared recovery account is an unfortunate red herring. Especially in the knowledge that there are a lot of honest users who haven't abused the privilege and trust put in them in this way.
It's time to move on and leave it with individual community members on how they wish to react. Having experienced the community yourself, the idea that you're helping others is a very powerful attraction and will be very hard for some to walk away from.
You have described everything clearly. You are absolutely right, for some users it is difficult to leave a community that supposedly supports them, even with little vote. And I say supposedly, because from my point of view it is only fattening the account to filter the largest amount of steem through the accounts involved. And give little vote to users. The user tends to look for where they are most supported. This is seen in several communities where the support of the Steemit team has died. However, those users are wandering around various communities, which I will do now, trying to establish myself in some communities.
For many, a 4% vote from a curation trail with over 250,000 SP is more than they'll earn in many other communities. They won't care where the money comes from, nor that those "in charge" get the 100% upvotes.
We've done what we can - sadly, these are the economics of Steemit and it is time to let it lie.
Yes I understand. Thank you very much for all the support and effort. You do a very admirable job. Have a nice day!
