Groups attacking and devaluing Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Steemit users like @Bloom are being paid to do nothing but down vote "anti Israel" content, they have not posted a single post on their blog, yet their account is worth over $4000. You can see by their Steemd page that regular payments of very similar amounts are made into their account through Bitrex. Just imagine what would happen to Steemit if all we did was down vote every thing we saw that we didn't agree with, bye bye Steem currency.

They down vote anything that mentions historical facts and events that show Israel in a bad light such as Israel's illegal use of phosphorus bombs.

Such groups as:

Wikimedia Israel

From Wikipedia:
Wikimedia Israel (In Hebrew ויקימדיה ישראל) is an Israeli non profit organization working in cooperation with the Wikimedia Foundation to promote knowledge and education in Israel through the collection and dissemination of free content and the initiation of projects to facilitate access to databases.

My Israel and the Yesha Council

From Wikipedia:
My Israel (Hebrew: ישראל שלי‎‎, Yisra'el Sheli) is an Israel right wing extra-parliamentary movement. Its website describes it as a "movement for Zionist activity".

From israelnationalnews.com
The Yesha (Judea and Samaria) Council’s new website, as introduced at a public conference in Jerusalem on Sunday, teaches Land of Israel supporters how to take full advantage of the internet to promote Zionist nationalist ideals.

Of course this type of behaviour will put a dent in the value of Steem, especially if it makes those flagged retaliate by doing the same, not to mention making earning any money from it impossible unless you have a huge following.

Some eye opening quotes from those Israeli's.

"I personally try to edit things that are against Israel, I have the power and the right to change that"

"I came here to learn more about how we as Israeli's and as Jews can defend Israel online on the internet and particularly in Wikipedia in this case"

"The goal of the day is to teach people how to edit Wikipedia which is the number one source of information today in the world"

"We wanna be there, we wanna be the guys who influence what is written there , how is written and insure that is balanced and Zionist in nature"

Thank you for reading this message. STEEM ON!

@icarus
I see what has been happening to your recent posts and I think it is most troublesome.

Obviously, you have raised the ire of someone who is in possession of much more Steem Power than you.

This situation is not fair. We call this, "Capitalism." Or, "He Who Owns the Gold, Makes the Rules."

Suck it up, buttercup. Get with the program. Someone is trying to teach you how to adjust your approach to "THEIR" platform - and they have the balls to back it up.

Might I make a suggestion?
Adjust your tone, your content, your posts, your tags accordingly. Learn the "rules" of SteemIt. Once you know what they are, I believe you will still be able to get your point of view across, without the continued harrassment from the whales. They are sometimes big & clumsy things that accidentally sink your ship, throw you around, and make a general nuisance out of themselves. For now, sail into some calmer waters, get out of the area, and regroup. It will be less frustrating for you, if you do so.
