TPTB? Im not familiar with that abbreviation..
But I do think steemit.inc and witnesses are only concerned with appeasing the big accounts and how changes affect them. Truth is whales were making out like fat rats in the old system by raping the small accounts with bidbots/paid votes while at the same time bleeding the system dry of liquid steem/sbd.
Now they are raping the small accounts by taking more of their (hard earned) rewards AND punishing anyone who tries to post promote to get more attention on their posts! Cuz how dare anyone but whales (or posts with whales approval) make it in trending.
But dont worry their circle jerking is completely fine on their shit posts and you better not dare downvote their shit post because they will destroy you!!
Funny thing is nothing has really changed for the better.. The same people are getting fucked after hf21, the small accounts, and now the whales are acting like they are saviors by downvoting anyone who uses a bidbot 😂🤣😂 oh the fucking irony of it all..
But to answer your question, no, i dont think they realized they fucked up their golden goose yet.. I think they think the SMTs will solve everything.......
LOL....That's a great analysis! You should make that into a post, not just a reply to me.
TPTB=The Powers that Be
Good to know.. It makes sense now that i see it! lol.
I am actually preparing a Dtube video that says all of this stuff.. however it doesn't really matter what I say because when I put that post out it will either be completely ignored by pretty much everyone or it will be downvoted into oblivion and it will put a target on my back too.. which at this point i really don't care cuz that would just give me an excuse to stop using steemit and tbh my fiance would LOVE THAT! lol.. Intially I told her I would stop posting after i earned 1000 steem, however I'm well over 2k now and I have spent another 1k buying other cryptos, silver and steem engine coins... It's just stupid easy to earn right now, especially using Dtube, steemhunt and actifit so I feel dumb walking away.. but if it completely falls apart she will never let me live it down! LMAO! Damned if i do, Damned if i don't!
BTW, I always appreciate the upvotes but you definitely don't need to hook me up everytime I comment on your stuff.. I love what you are doing, people need to be informed, and that is why I do my best to support u with small upvotes and some comments.. However, I know you got battles to fight so please don't waste upvotes on me if you could use them elsewhere ;) Keep on keeping on my friend, hopefully one day you will beat this fucking idiot who is harassing the shit out of you and stealing your freedom of speech!
Thanks, man. That was just the lift I needed today!
Despite what some of my detractors are claiming I always upvote those who comment positively--if I have the SP to do so at the time...
Do remember to let me know when your Dtube is up. I definitely want to check it out and probably resteem it.
Glad I could help lift you up! You are one of the few people on steemit who I actually think are posting shit worth reading, so I appreciate your hard work. You are a true patriot and as a two time combat veteran I know when i see a real patriot! So i want to personally thank you!
Oh, and you will be the first one I message when I post that Dtube Video.. Hopefully I will find the time to do it this weekend :0)
Take care
friendbrother.Dude, I am TRULY honored serve by you...shoulder to shoulder. Time (and God) are on our side...and the book has already been written.
(Hint: We win.)
Right... we are just here to act the whole thing out... Good always prevails over evil, it just never seems that way until the final act..
I couldn't agree more.
