The good old boys making it big while other talented hard working bloggers eat for less. You have an amazing power to do good for this community not just let you and your buddies bleed this community dry. If you quit and keep your eyes shut to what is going on we won't miss you. The few whales give the majority of whales a bad UGLY name.
Thank you for your passionate comment. I feel your pain.
Now let me try to put a bit more context to the situation. @kingscrown have spent hundreds of hours learning about cryptocurrency and hundreds of hours on Steem alone as well as spending countless hours creating awesome content for Steem. He also spent countless hours networking on Steem. He's the greatest content creator on all cryptocurrency related news and post a lot of them. He's got bots voting for him like mine. He also happen to received huge manual votes for many reasons. It's a complex thing yet this community won't get sucked dried. Steemian won't let this happen. It's in the power of all of us to change things.
If you haven't read the Steem white paper may I recommend you to give it a try? Probably more than once. I also encourage you to read or listen to my book (HERE) which can begin to help you see all the positive thing Steem has brought to all of us and what is yet to come.
We all have the power to change things with our words and if we think there are bad whales/people we should use our words to positively influence them and if we think we can't influence them then we shouldn't waste our words and efforts.
[nested] @pitterpatter Initially i thought you have sense of humor like other people in comments and memechallenges and especially @mynameisbrian who started the joke.
When i saw you actually didnt joke but meant all this bad words - you got the downvoted because thats what negativity and rudeness deserves.
You really can't see it or are you're just faking it. I really can't tell. I have seen great content literally disappear with beautiful photos and content getting less than a dime. I wonder maybe the few whales can't see what is happening ... maybe the only friends they have befriended are only whales . Maybe with all the bots that upvote without even viewing they can't see what the community is putting out there. I've heard so much negativity, lately, I had to look for myself and, now, that I have I will put a post out soon. It's nothing what I thought it was at Steemit. Although I know from my investigation @ned and @dan did not set it up to be this way..
In closing Most of the whales are featured and highly paid. I am not talking about whales that have HQ posts that go in the hundreds. They deserve it for good content. I don't know why whales don't vote for dolphins and/or minnows, but, it's too disturbing to overlook anymore. It saddens me that we are told we can make money when it's a popularity vote for whales.
OMgoodness! You didn't downvote me, again? Thank you for showing me that the 1% few whales are downvoting the minnows and dolphins to shut up what is going on. You may be able to silence me, but, unfortunately for you it's not just me that sees the 1% trying to control steemit? This will be put on my next post and you can downvote it all you want. Other people see this going on. By the way, who ever silenced me is a bully. I can't believe you think this is OK to do to new people who want to have a discussion. But it is good I see what you few 1% whales are all about. There will be no doubt that you don't care about steemit community and only want what you want. Mark my words your day will come when you squash your last minnow on steemit.
I never said i quit steemit , i said i would only be posting part time but still commenting and curating and reading good posts from my followers , especially since they showed me such wonderful support by upvoteing for me and contributing to my retirement fund and wanted me to stay ! Right now im mostly just entering contests and posting pictures or logos ive been working on from "steepshot ". I have 550 followers that enjoy what i do and talked me into staying ! Only when the system changes I will come back full time posting 3 times a day like i used to !
Youi are a bully if you come to a fun steem contest and whine. I dont want you here, on steemit nor on my posts. Got it? Go bully other posts with your whining and ranting.
I understand but If you flag people you just confirm the injustice and frustrations which they are speaking about. We need people building bridges and coming together rather become more divided. That helps none of us.
They are all upvoted by gavvet and such. All i can do is take few cents of their payment which they got for ranting and spreading hate. They get 15-20 cents per hate comment in the thread if you can see.
I upvoted this yesterday because I wanted to upvote it. I don't care what the rewards are. I don't care if people whine and complain about it. I upvoted it because I liked it. I thought it was funny.
I have no idea why people have decided to come here and complain about it and whine about unfairness. This isn't the place for it. This was meant to be a humorous post and to lighten the mood of the platform. But - once again - the same users are proving that fun isn't allowed...unless by "fun" we mean "give them what they think they deserve," or "create a UBI for all of the jobless posters."
If you're going to crap all over someone's post on an unrelated topic, then expect to be flagged for it. If you have a problem with the voters, then take it up with the voters...on a different post (your own) or, better yet, in the chat forums. This isn't it.
If we talked about fair, my experience, I've spent to post everyday, but sometimes only one post upvoted by @blocktrades and @ned in a week and the rest is 0.00 . But then @smooth downvoted my rewards. I didn't even get a clue what his reason till now. I guess, because sombody had started to flag and downvote (except plagiarise) with personal reason then this ball glides everywhere and creates this mess between stemians till now. I didn't expect this to happen when joining Steemit at first time. Or maybe we better not to flag anymore.

Why can't people just get along. Who decides when its to much. If people find this funny then that's there vote, stop spoiling it for everyone else just because you got out of the bed the wrong way.
Upvoted. Disagreement on rewards.
Here's your flag ;-)
@kingscrown too slow to flag with just my index finger on the keypad but here's to you!
source
It'll get there when it gets there hahah
Wow! I'm starting to see it. Unbelievable and disgusting!
Me too! :))) and I will not consider your post as an entry for the #memechallenge! This is too much!
Just kidding, I like it very much!
After such fiasco not sure if i will join again!
:))) why? Don't you like, that people like what they should like?

They are so ashamed of my reply that they downvoted it. That does says a lot.

I always upvote my friends. This is a social media.
Wow. High pay. Is it fair or not?
100% fair
But, you not fair. You flagged comment. I am not.
You have enough upvotes from other whiners to keep it visible. Instead of fun this post is a fest of whiners supporting each other.
Ok. I stop. 👌

Your being downvoted for no reason , dont let it get to you ! 👍😉
wasnt you supossed to quit steemit?

Keep smiling everyone - since our MeetUp yesterday I smile even more!
@kingscrown I am disappointed that you would flag simply because someone disagreed with you. You are showing a lack of humour in that case.
I had humor and even gave him upvote that paid him few cents until he started doing 3 posts of same kind in my thread.
Its a fun steem contest to bring community together and for now it brang whiners to me

The blockchain shows that @gavvet upvoted after you flagged. The blockchain doesn't lie.
I don't think that helps the situation though - anyway you can do as you please.

Honestly, don't wanna prolong this. Just saying what I want to say above. No pleasure in discussing this.
Upvoted. Disagreement on rewards.
good one - just not sure if it is funny or rather sad or rather motivating :-)? @kingscrown
After today and this crazy people - im not sure anymore ;)
lol - just keep on smiling @kingscrown as i said above but I know what you mean - just scrolled through the comments here.
Why can't people just get along. Who decides when its to much. If people find this funny then that's there vote, stop spoiling it for everyone else just because you got out of the bed the wrong way.
Well done ;-) i upvoted
I do not know . Why all this contradiction of everyone in the comments
