We can't give in to this fear. If we don't call out this activity, the platform is doomed anyway. There's no use walking on eggshells. If this continues, this site has no future.
When I mentioned the above facts before I was threatened with powerful downvoting.
Also, because of my criticism I completely lost chance for any potential upvoting support from whales. Obviously, I am unofficially blacklisted.
You are not blacklisted by me. If you post in manner that is positive and adds substance and value, then I will upvote you. If you continue to spew hatred jealousy and trolling, then I will downvote you. The standards are the same for everyone and the choice is yours.
I am not going to say whether this is a good or bad thing to do, but it is allowed and people do it, so..
If you are willing to pay around $10 worth of BTC, you can create your own "sock puppet" account using anonsteem. You can then use that to post whatever you want, without it being connected to your main account.
The problem isn't anonymous posting... It becomes a problem when whales collusively vote for their own accounts. In this way, they are able to drain the reward pool of funds that are ostensibly intended for content producers who garner popular support.
Yeah, we are talking about slightly different things :)
My comment was specifically to @claudia about what she said as far as being afraid to post things. I was suggesting to her that she might consider using an anonymous account to post things she might be afraid to post on her main account for fear of retaliation. I don't know if it would help in her particular situation, but it might be a good way for her to share things without being afraid.

Perfect reply seems as some whales are gaming the system. But I can see you are genuine.
I dont know why but I kindof feel the same
Same as you.
They've put a burn notice on you? :-D Sorry, I couldn't resist!
100%.... To say otherwise is to say "You can beat cancer by ignoring cancer"
