RE: What are the rules in steemit regarding advertisement and giveaways? How about bullying?
I think this shows a misunderstanding of how whales actually behave. Yes, many of them upvote their own post as a way of securing an income, but I don't think many of them are flagging people just to keep the number of whales to a minimum.
It is pretty easy to see if someone downvoting, or upvoting and who for. just steemd their @ name and find out all you want. Even what their first post was.
That's not my point though. Statistics like that won't tell you why someone downvoted something. Any reasoning is purely speculation. Whales need minnows. They need minnows to grow. Without mass adoption, the platform won't last.
Yes they do, and minnow's need whales. Some people just have to have a reason for why. I think it stems from childhood when it was "why, because, because why, because your mother told you so now be quiet."
