RE: That's all folks!
it's not about being compensated fairly or i wouldn't be dirt poor and ready to leave too. the community spoke with their upvotes by the hundreds and 1 person decided that their voice is more important than everyone else who voted. i'm more interested in these dummy accounts i keep finding with zero posts, zero followers and zero followed that are having hundreds of thousands of dollars transferred to them and then transferred out of steemit. some have enormous steem power and don't appear to be adding anything at all in the way of content except snide comments making fun of people. my butt doesn't hurt, but if people don't wake up to the obvious corruption around here, Steemit's butt is going to do more than hurt. looking at your profile it seems you may be getting the shorter end of the stick too, unless you are just hiding it well. why defend the abusers?
please don't flag me for being honest. not that you would. i just never know.
I won't flag you for having an opinion. You make a lot of valid criticisms of problems in the system. At the end of the day I think it's rather foolish and butthurt of @masteryoda to stop. Even though the system has issues the system is still working in his favour at the moment.
I will be more than happy to pickup the slack. I'm already looking over his lists and figuring out what I have to modify in my data collection scripts to duplicate what he was doing. If I make one tenth of what he makes now it will still be profitable in the long run.
" i'm more interested in these dummy accounts i keep finding with zero posts, zero followers and zero followed that are having hundreds of thousands of dollars transferred to them and then transferred out of steemit."
If you look at who is voting for @masteryoda don't you find the exact same type of accounts? Isn't he being auto voted on by curation bots with large accounts from mining and witnessing? What you describe seems to be systemic and platform wide to me.
hope i didn't fly off the handle. this stuff is starting to get right up my nose. @masteryoda is obviously good at what he does. i think if i were he i might quit too.
i have only just started looking into these dummy accounts, so, i don't know how widespread it is. i am still looking, though.
i do know that i can't justify hanging out here for much longer and getting so little out of it.
i will miss some steemians, but my learning habit is suffering here.
All that said @masteryoda is free to make their own decision. I get that you are urging them to continue as do I. That said if for whatever reason Yoda wants to take a break it's at their volition. We'll miss you quite a lot. But don't ever think you owe us an obligation.
