RE: What are the rules in steemit regarding advertisement and giveaways? How about bullying?
The dolphins and whales want to keep their power, so they flag things as spam to hurt minnows reputations.

I don't see how that help to keep their power. Maybe you can elaborate more on that.
First, notice how they always upvote themselves. That is NOT spreading the wealth. Second, by letting them determine what is spam, or copyrighted, or "good" blogging, they discourage others from continuing on Steemit.
The final result being only whales left on Steemit to upvote each other and only whales to share profit among themselves. That is the power I'm talking about.
hmmmnnn that's interesting.
I think this shows a misunderstanding of how whales actually behave. Yes, many of them upvote their own post as a way of securing an income, but I don't think many of them are flagging people just to keep the number of whales to a minimum.
It is pretty easy to see if someone downvoting, or upvoting and who for. just steemd their @ name and find out all you want. Even what their first post was.
That's not my point though. Statistics like that won't tell you why someone downvoted something. Any reasoning is purely speculation. Whales need minnows. They need minnows to grow. Without mass adoption, the platform won't last.
Yes they do, and minnow's need whales. Some people just have to have a reason for why. I think it stems from childhood when it was "why, because, because why, because your mother told you so now be quiet."
