RE: Time for a #SteemitStrike by Content Creators and Daily Users who actually make this Community what it is? Bring your Harpoons, the Whale Flag "Experiment" failed YUGE and here's why.
'You get 3-4 whales that UV your post at limited power..... and you get 5 of the TOP whales all DV you with their massive Steem Power at - 10% and it does not counter the other whale votes, it drives the value of the post and reputations, WAY down further, past the comparable % of other whales.' I know you mean well here but I checked the post in question and your comments are mistaken. You got a whale bot upvote at 70%, followed by downvotes at 10%. The sum of the downvotes was less than the whale bot upvote. You can see the detailed numbers on steemd here
Nope.
There is no way the other collective weights of the handful of whale upvotes on THIS post -- let alone all the other ones would ever outweigh the cumulative effects of the massive flagging power of the top 5 accounts of your 5 guys that opted to all flag this on a trail of -10 flags/downvotes man. Sorry, try again.
funny how most of us never hear from you on our posts, despite super hard work, and hours of making good content that actually is helpful and encourages people day in and day out, with thousands of our comments on the blockchain. I said it awhile back.
Some of us work daily on here I have said to you and others and I mean HARD. Quality community building all to have a whale show up and destroy a post or a reputation with the flick of a button.
I call it reckless at times. Do you create content or anything that builds community or just do drive by flaggings without looking at the complete body of work of users?
Because with your great steem power across many accounts, comes great responsibility.
No community means your investment is in jeopardy and good people are leaving all the time, if you read my post.... or my comments to you in the past.
Yep. there is, indeed, a way. This is the upvote with rhares:
Created 4,685,180,124,293 70% 2017-03-13T17:03:57
these are the downvotes
smooth -2,526,236,559,393
engagement -1,056,018,820,281
berniesanders -18,446,918,265
thecyclist -613,439,785,434
nextgencrypto -256,547,348,866
the total DV is about -4,469,000,000,000.
Not only that, but because no whales are voting, all the votes you got were more valuable. you did not lose money because of this experiment. The only ones that did are the people who just get whale votes out of the blue.
This is correct
you want me to go through the math for you... again, did you not notice that your post didnt make less money than usual, despite the downvotes?
Yes, if they had left your post alone, and flagged all the other whale upvoted posts, you would h ave made even more money, but your post made the same amount as it would have it the 'expirement'. had not been running.
