Bonehead Whale Scheme Now Downvoting New Users and Minnows. Call to Ostracize.
I just saw a minnow's tiny account verification post about flowers downvoted and hidden from view by this half-baked experiment @abit has going on.
Are you trying to kill the platform?
Steemians: remember and reward (in any way you can) the whales who are not a part of this, and be sure to let the market reward the ones wreaking this idiocy accordingly as well.
Did you whales not think this through? If so, stop it. If you knew these things would happen to smaller users trying to verify their accounts, then let the market decide how it will see you from here on out.
Cease and desist before you shoot yourselves and and the whole platform in the foot.
Jesus.
I agree with you with regards to the case but I would have chosen some smoother words describing your anger.
Even if it´s only about surfacing an attitude like this one, then the experiment is already a big success.
That's interesting. What do you mean?
I mean your attitude.
Yes, what specifically do you mean to point out about what you perceive to be my attitude?
An overly aggressive and offensive way of expressing disagreement. Maybe it´s worth that you wait a few days to let the actual results of the experiment to unfold.
Look. I feel angry. I am sorry that by your personal judgement I am too aggressive. I just saw a minnow with 200 SP getting downvoted into oblivion while trying to verify her account.
This is a free market, and I remain free to express my hot displeasure.
I feel so sad.... !
Resteemed....
I have just been downwoted by @smooth. Then I flagged him (or it, because I suppose it's a bot). And used to upvote all the minnows posts I find downvoted. It's a small compensation for them.
I'm soooo angry! Just downvoted again by @abit, and immediately lost 10 steem dollars! Fuck all the downvoter bots! I'm on the way to loose my faith...
Following you now, and upvoted. Maybe this is their secret plan. To make everyone so angry that people stop depending on their votes and start voting for each other. Heh. Anyway, glad to follow you on here now!
I calmed down by now. Angriness is a bad advisor! I wrote down my thoughts about this phenomenon: https://steemit.com/steemit/@kalemandra/i-terribly-hate-when-a-little-minnow-loose-the-hardly-gathered-steems-by-some-f-cking-whales
We all pissed of what is going on ..
I just went to @elementm's post and followed her too. Thanks for the heads up.
The other silly thing about this is, if I vote on a post I want to succeed, my vote might be wasted in that sense right when one of these bots sacks it.
Your opinion what is a good or a bad post das not mather ...
A downvote was applied to partially counter earlier whale votes as an experiment to reduce whale domination of voting influence. Not intended to express an opinion on the content nor result in a net reduction of rewards or reputation (automated notice)
Fuck off.
That automated comment under such a post is the definition of irony. ;)
