Hi @nathen007, I think you're right. This is the beginning of the end. In the last few weeks, I had only one post a day, two-three comments and around 20 upvotes (half of it was because of my shadowbot-membership). I've never let my voting power below 88%.
Yesterday I couldn't claim my reward because I had insufficient resource. I checked my voting power, it was around 23%!!!.
I invested into this platform around 2000,- Euro in January. Now I have around 400SP and 200 in liquids. I'm getting fed up. I will not pay any more for this shit.
I think I will power-down and move everything to Whaleshares. It works similarly to steemit.com but a much more fair system.
I joined it 3 weeks ago with ZERO investment and I have more influence token than here. Many steemit users have an account there too.
The registration is shitty, it takes 1-3 weeks, but if you join their discord channel you can have an account instantly. Look for @krazykrista on discord. Just to make it clear: I have no interest in recruiting members! :-)
I think this comment was too long (it matters!!!), and it will kill all of my mana and I cannot give you my 0.01 upvote...
I hope to see you there...
