RE: WHAT A GREAT COMMUNITY Steemit Whale steemitsunday
I didn't know that whales upvoted minnow or whales. My first post was upvoted by a whale but I had no idea and I'm just learning how to see who voted. It just seems (and I could easily be wrong) from my experience that whales get huge rewards and minnows and dolphins with sometime far better content get far less even less than a dollar. It's a mystery why more whales haven't come to comment when that happens. So when I see a whale step out of step for the majority of the community I see that as rare. Maybe youre experiences are different but as a new person I find all this crushing of minnows and dolphins depressing.
You're right but abit experiment is not about giving more rewards to minnows, it's about giving more voting power to minnows (we as minnows can vote whales of other minnows, it's up to us).
I think the experiment is not working at the moment, my vote still counts for less than 1 cent. There are also lots of bots sucking from the reward pool, not just whales.
I don't know if it will work but at least he's got the ball rolling. All I want is the few whales that are warring with the dolphins and minnows to stop. As far as looking for votes and rewards I have given that up. Some whales act like bullies and find it alright to hate on new people.
I don't know that much about bots. Do they get rewarded for posts? Tell me more.
I'm new, like you, as far as I know bots are doing automatic upvote in order to take curation rewards, most after 30 minutes from posting because of complicated curation rules. Some bot is upvoting everyone and others are upvoting whales. I didn't see much bot posting, just commenting ( @cheetah for expample).
The abit experiment worked for some accounts, I mean they were able to see a raise in upvoting power. I have too little SP to spot any difference.
Yes I have too little, also. Thanks for the info.
