RE: The downvote button is back?
Mh ... someone seems to have a myway or the highway upthere on mt.Steemit, i wonder who lobbied for that ... The only practical aim i can see is hoping for massive flagwars so the pool gets depleted less fast ... which, in itself, is indeed not the most positive way to promote your jolly, smiley, always positive platform.
But well, it's there and i don't have a million dollar witness to lobby it away again. I don't know if it's really dumping as the price has just slumped to this $ 1/3 and stays there, it's like its being kept there ... last time i check steemit, which is probably the biggest downward force as , for all i know, their only revenue is selling steem so far
steemit stopped powering down ...
but for how long ?
Another thing i noticed is all coins in the green (the majors) which usually ends up with a ripple effect but this time doesn't seem to phase it by 5 cents ... which again makes it look very much like its being artificially kept there ... maybe the millionnaires can't fathom the use of bulk on social media and try to force out or something, which in the end means they should really change the front page before you login to say something other than get paid lol .
organic communities , low cost nodes, twitter campaigns and the last time i ctrl-s'ed a page it was almost half a megabyte in size and full of links to ad-sites ... which also makes me wonder ...
If they don't get a source of extra revenue they'll have to keep nibbling at their own flesh. To expect your local plankton to pour their kids college funds it just so you can sell it off is, as you say,
folly ... i said somewhere in a reply earlier this week : facebook money (before it was big five) didnt come from plankton / users buying it ... it came from massive userbase attracting people wanting to pay for it to expose their products ...
But i'm not a mindreader from half a continent away, cerebro's broken, the yabapmatt/aggroed-tandem doesn't seem to slow down in any way so far so there's still a few pillars left ... but its walking on rope-bridges in between for now.
Seriously, if they would be keeping it down artificially in the name of the holy content grail ...
always makes me think about that whale-dude who was gonna liquify a million to push the price down because TWO people were upvoting eachother, like ... ??!?
mwell yea ... on vera
i know things will change focus soon , think of it as a sterile soil which is the final result of cleansification, then they notice what? where did everybody go ??? i will say again nothing can or will grow in a sterile "" environment. all the little shit rolls into a little ball into a bigger shit which is now useful "maybe" right but every step of the way uses resources which Steem runs on so even they in their impartial way contribute however tiny that may be to the platform, Listen MORE is BETTER they shouldn't be so Hateful, Punishing as much they should be "trying" or look "like" to "EDUCATE" just looks better to the investor looking in from the outside. Here's the funny part instead of creating more ways to make more coins they seem possessed by those who have, however be it simple and greedy, and are even willing to waste money in a vigilante style is gonna go nowhere, when they could be creating and building with all that power , big problem here is so many of them don't know or understand the real world ((money attracts money)) ((shit attracts shit))), i mean obviously some do and those are the ones who sleep at night.
yea, it takes the concept of decentralized to the level of narcis hahah ... and i once more overdid myself and proved my theory that the frontpage needs to say get paid for handshakeday , kissing the bishop's ring and sucking teh waehl dikc because a picture of omelette is the same as a filosofical ponder on the -ism in anarchy (still it is after over two years of being here) , i was right from the start, the only thing that seems to have changed is me no longer caring about that ... would be nice to see some from the delegation though, its been slim pickens and without that there's not much promotion or growth at it and as you say, then wake up and ask themselves : why is everyone back on facebook, right :p
the moment it shoots up i'm sure we'll see a rise in posts within a week or less, but it seems to be scary , i havent had anyone on fb or anything ask me about it, and the few people i told that they might get something out of what they're already doing didnt ... (a little band among other things) so yea
but you know, it IS scary if you wade into the middle of a flagwar and read "the rules" there lol ...
enforcement, as i like to say, is a very bad way of directing, force is never used to mend only to break and bend (another axiom of catlawick). IF they don't get out of their satellite mentality where each narcis for himself needs to have more spotlight than the other and then pour it on the plankton to feed the world AND the whale it will probably keep going side or south ... advertising money , exclusive products, onboarding of BIG brands, i think they're SHY, scared to make cold calls because that means they're out of their controlled environment where they are god and king and have to ASK people pretty please ... and the big teams going narcis doesnt help either . It's all just a come-to-me thing, not a come-to-steem- thing (in most of the cases) AND i still cant shake the feeling its kept down artificially.
but well, i typed enough for a week yesterday and its not because i dont see the numbers change , i need to not to or i will fall for aktifit report cards
anyways ...
whatever it is its not ME who has control over it, it's the top 50 narcis flowerpot , the ones who sell off the most steem as in -it and the trending section smiley tell-you-how-its done, in all the fight against this and that, they're actually draining themselves but im gonna quit here i put in enough content for a week as i said ... i shouldnt force myself -
i also still think half of the people "in charge" either have a backbround in law enforcement as the ways and patterns certainly are the same - or either its a social experiment and misterdelegation (whoever that actually is because i havent seen proof anywhere) is NSA lol ...
but anyway - im certainly not losing sleep or even my cool over any of that anymore ...
yes i agree!, absolutely the frontpage should receive recognition and a monetary supplement for a job well done.If they cant give value and appreciation to themselves they are in denial how can they give value to others, a change in the way they see themselves might be necessary to("oil the machine"). Funny thing the Universe you Give-> here and sometimes unexpected rewards when the planets were aligned from-> there, i'm always amazed lol :)))) n sa i think they only have to read the blockchain, why waste resources, time is money. misterdelegation i'm sure is a happy guy making good interest on his investment. i know most of the boys are still looking for a good investment cause the banks are the pits but soon as they see stupidity it's information time.
Stores would like to use it to advertise and i'm not sure how this will go over.
