RE: The Whale Downvote Experiment-- Some Perspective and the Value of Staying True to Yourself
I wrote a community encouragement post today, got 5 or more flags, with massive 10% flags/DV, by the TOP whales, - when 1% would have been fair..... it killed the rep score and payout, and I had a lot of time and thought into it but who cares, about encouraging content right that is then worth $1?
It was a failed experiment and these flags, with no start or end date, or announcement, are driving good people off here daily. Poorly thought out, at best.
Yes this is whats happening to everyone !!! They are flagging the posts way below what the payouts would have been !!! Its in no way equal at all!! And everyone is tired of the crap !!! Son of satire and many more have stopped posting untill this stupid experiment ends !! Its killing the platform and newbies are leaving once again saying what a joke steemit is !!! 👍😊

I said today. Organize it, stop posting for a week, watch the panic and collapse from all the so called stakeholders, and then they will see what matters...
Content creators and daily posters and community.... it is social media as a platform right afterall?
This "experiment" is chaotic and ill-conceived, to be sure. But at least it seems like something is being done... which (to me) seems preferable to "nothing being done."
