RE: Its time to call out the trolls
I don't know who is who, and I really don't care. I just know I will never see certain names the same way again - including yours. Watching your daily trend. Your conversations with the other people who were trending. I watched some smaller players who hoped for your votes make comments after the battle started. Oh, and I saw every one of your articles.
I have never been in the price channel and I have never been in the abuse channels either. So, you set the bait... Knowing not just those whales were watching, but the entire community, current investors, potential investors, etc. All the while the articles and whale pod votes never quit coming. Nice bait. I guess you caught ... me and probably many others.
I watched the silly whale flags with bad reasons, I was accused of taking sides through both battles.
Here is what your bait has done to my thoughts on Steem. It has made me feel that there is a huge amount of scammy and untrustworthy people. It has made me feel like it is broken and the people involved are broken. Including those behind SG and Steemvoter, steemsports, etc.
If anyone asked me if they should participate in SteemIt, I would say yes. If they asked if I thought they should buy steem. At this time, I would say no. I hope others keep their wallets in their pockets as well.
Congratulations you sure showed us.
No intent to show you, but the trolls are showing their hand for those who would like to educate themselves.
So, those who see bad behavior on all sides, and don't appreciate the drama are uneducated? You have the floor, educate us with some details. Otherwise, it is just one more rant. Coming from one of the best paid people on the platform.
Education (or perhaps informing yourself is a better phrase) is a process... I have pointed out the right direction, everyone is welcome to form their own opinions.
Seems pretty cryptic, am I supposed to run to the abuse and price channel now and comb through all the conversations. No thank you. Have a nice night. I don't know for sure, but it sure sounds like you got called out for voting on old posts or something.
Wow, what an eye opener this whole story. This makes me feel like I'm a fool.
At this point, I don't even advise people to try steemit. The place is too stressful at the moment to invite people I care about, why would I want to show them this toxic environment...
I know that it's mostly down to a bear market, but that bear market is due to people who can't see the problems with their own actions or passivity. Knowing that the people who are gaining the most power on the platform are currently extorting that power at the expense of the community makes me wonder how long before we will see actual decentralisation... Because sending all the power to certain users so they can trend every day while users like karenmckersie who have put in day after day since July have been there just once... What reasons have I to not lose faith?
Tensions are building. I don't know, maybe a giant melt down will bring sanity.
