UPDATE EDIT: Well .. now that I have read the fine print, I can see that it does say that they will be liquidating all the AUTHOR REWARDS for EACH AND EVERY one of these Re-Distribution Game posts, and giving it all to the handful in the 'prize pool' .. well, that's awesome. It still does not change the fact that the initial gains they made were based on an offering that made a great many people, 'something', instead of enriching a few. It may not be about amassing @steemsport's STEEMPower it may just be a way to continue to promote themselves .. fine .. but wow, now I am thinking it is just plain stupid! I mean, imagine the work they are going to put into this, so that a handful of people can be made phat? Silly.

I stand by the claim of "Bait-and-Switch" as it is still the case .. the gained support based on the false-assumption that the model would continue to exist - it no longer does, because it does not 'serve their purposes'. They want to give a little back to a handful of people .. great .. for the majority of us, it is an entirely empty and irrelevant gesture, paid for with our curation. :)

I did and what you claim in your headline is not supported by the contents of this article. Would you care to elaborate on what is being baited and what is being switched?

THE ENTIRE THING IS !!!

But Nevermind .. you WIN! :-) Let them continue to powerdown all the SP you give to their non-curating juggernaut, while chasing your 10% chance to be in their illustrious spread pool!? lol f**king ridiculous

I am sure they will put that liquified SP to good use ...funding their.'outside-the-community' purely-4-the-profit-of-very-few project. The only people who should be defending them should be in on that cheesecake, otherwise they risk appearing very silly. :)

You can't even name exactly what is being baited and what is being switched, hardly compelling. Trying to make sense of your non-sequitur isn't defending them either. You have failed to make a coherent argument in support of your sensationalist headlines.

Haha asking you to elaborate on your point is aholey, that's a new one. Let's be real if anyone here is being an asshole it's obviously you. I'm just asking you to clarify your allegations.

You claim a bait and switch and yet are unable to demonstrate the bait or the switch.

I believe the bait-and-switch is also fairly obvious. @steemsports presented itself to the community in a particular way, gained support with that, amassed a great deal of STEEMPower (SP) - the support they gained was in no-small part from a great many smaller members who found it a 'fun' way to continuously add to their modest SP holdings. Everyone who had a vote bot listed them, because it was also profitable for curators.

Then they said no more and compelled people to put money at risk. The immediate response was that their posts stopped receiving support, dropping to all-time lows. THEN, when they realized that they would not be missed if they left STEEMIT entirely .. this game .. which is, kind of a mess.

@free2play may be wrong about the STEEMPower thing .. they do say that they will be liquidating it and distributing it to the winners, but a prize, no matter the size, going to a handful of knuckleheads, that is not SERVING THE COMMUNITY .. it is serving a handful of knuckleheads. ;-)

RESTEEMED!

You repeated yourself again cj :)

Do you not see any point to what is being said here, because I sure as hell do! In-fact I agree entirely!
