RE: Why there is such a thing as draining the "reward pool". (Opinion Only - Discussion)
I am no longer concerned about my account rep or voting rewards. Check out my last posts, what do I have to lose? If you don't like my content, feel free to either flag it, or just continue to not upvote it.
I would like to upvote your content, as I had always done. But what has transpired over the past few weeks with you and others from SteemSpeak is just ridiculous. I've said what I have to say about it and I was kicked out of the channel for disagreeing with the ignorance and stubbornness. I tried to talk things through, but nobody wants to take the time to understand anything. They would rather accuse people of "abuse," "stealing rewards," "vote-buying," "harming the platform," and any number of other ignorant/meaningless complaints, and then going around flagging content that they haven't even taken the time to actually read.
So, please - go back to posting things that I feel good about upvoting and you'll get votes and rewards. The current nonsense isn't going to accomplish that. And it's unfortunate, because I always respected you and thought you were an upstanding person, but I think the cesspool that is SteemSpeak is really clouding your judgement.
I think you are an upstanding citizen as well. At this point in time, although we agree on many things, I think we just disagree on this. I will post politely about my opinion. If people can't see past one opinion I have. (even if I am wrong) I don't understand the over reaction to a discussion. Just disagree and don't vote on me. Even flag me. You don't have to call me names, lump me into categories, etc.
We could all look at the different groups we hang out in, like SteemSpeak vs. Some of the Whales that are upvoting the content and call them names, but I think everyone one of us has our own brain and lumping people into one category can be a bad thing. I remember when you were getting your warnings to "shut-up" and be silent. You didn't just quit, and you made a difference.
Sure, I didn't quit. But then again, my complaint was not about content or the trending page. It was an actual abuse that was flying under the radar of most users. The trending content issue is in our faces already. We all know about it. It's not an abuse. So where do we go from here? People are going to vote how they want to vote. What's to be done about that in this system?
Yes, people will vote how they wish to vote. Education and different views help people to make that decision.
Why is there such a huge over reaction pointing out a point of view? Look not one of them has made more than a dollar? Why are you even concerned over my POV?
Maybe you are getting too big for your britches. (wink) Nobody can disagree with you with out being publically slammed?
Really, you think everyone knows about the relationships between these accounts that are getting daily votes and the voters? Should someone disclose it? Investigate it? etc? Can you define exactly what is abuse?
I am not saying it is abuse, I am just thinking people could view this in different ways, why is my view so threatening?
