RE: How is the Flagging Whale-Votes Experiment Going?
Well, the system isn't solid yet.
One thing for sure is since the experiment we have a clear majority of happy users all making a little rather than a majority of bitter users watching the same folks making huge rewards while nearly everyone else, that didn't quit because of which is an even bigger number, felt frustrated and unhappy.
Steemit for the first time in its life is rewarding content because people like it and not because of politics and guilds leading the way of bots voting. People are actually happy here now.
What ever comes next I hope it makes the majority happy and not just a select few.
And yes my posts are getting flagged by smooth on the reg now. Not the end of the world.
I was making $20-$75 up until Christmas, then i pissed off the whales and guild leaders, about 70 people out of thousands and my rewards dropped to less than a dollar up til the experiment. Now am making $5-$15 which is AWESOME.
Some said I was crazy and stupid and wrong. One guy wished I would quit and die because i called them out.
Steemit can be a great place. If it reverts back the value will crash.
Amen, @solarguy! I am in the same boat as you bro. Pissed off 5 people and my posts dropped to as low as 30 cents even though I've been successful here since July 2016 lol. Now I'm receiving fair rewards for the first time in months. Thanks to @ats-david, @smooth, @abit, @berniesanders and the rest of those who spoke up and took action against greed and corruption. Goodbye, @donkeypong, @the-alien, @gavvet, @hanshotfirst. :) Hope you enjoy all of your loot that you stole from the rest of us.
I note the crash ongoing presently, and give credit to where credit is due. You called it.
