RE: The Whale Voting Experiment Explained (including downvotes from @abit)
I don't understand why this experiment is being conducted. The source code of Steemit is open for everyone to see. We all KNOW what happens when all whales decide to stop voting. Why do we need an experiment to find out about something we already know?
Explain
Well, the votes of minnows and dolphins count more. Surprise! ;-)
That is true. There are other factors to consider too though - the price of STEEM, user engagement, curation rewards for dolphins/minnows. If anything, the experiment should be fun for the 'little people' once the drama over all the downvotes settles.
The worst developments I see are that people disliking the experiment are currently being silenced by just tagging them as drama queens, naysayers, whiners, etc... and the fact that there hasn't been any communication about this experiment with normal users beforehand.
Amen to that! The whales can vote in whatever fashion they want and I'm free to express my opinion about the senselessness of this experiment. Isn't this the beauty of Steemit?
Valid concerns. I don't disagree. At the end of the day though, it is the whales' SP, and they are allowed to vote with it as they please.
