Check my blog from the early days. I am doing ablolutely nothing different in number of posts, quality of posts and most of my posts are per requests on analysis from my followers.

I post 10 a day because each analysis stands on its own and timing is of matter. Awaiting once or twice a day to accumulate trade info....not acceptable for trade timing.

Ned had posted that my posts have driven massive traffic to steemit. The number of new Steemit joiners are also huge from youtube, twitter and stockwits posts. So, NO, I'm NOT hurting steemit, quite the opposite.

I will continue as I had been since the beginning of my blog. I am not hurting anyone...rather helping many with free, on demand analysis of cryptocurrencies and free tutorials.

Please go after the autovote bots...they suck 30% of the reward pool per day! Have the whales...oh wait, these bots are owned by the whales! Go check these bot payouts! $18k or more per day. They upvote blindly, regardless of quality of post or spam or whatever.

Check also my attempts to reason with the likes of @hendrix22 who initiated the jealousy driven downvotes and now has me on autodownvotes. He resorts to name calling and insult ridden memes...all for what?

Last but not least, you seem to be making your own rules of acceptable and non-acceptable. For instance, you state that self upvoting is fine when especailly it suits your needs. Hmm, many would flag you for self upvoting. For you to blanket apply your views of acceptable and not acceptable with threats of whale attacks makes Steemit the Wild West. So, yes, it has been and will be the survival of the fittest...in qualtiy of posts, followers and upvotes! Thus far, I'm doing pretty well in those areas and many simply see my upvote payouts and attack with downvotes. Well, I then reuturn with self defensive downvotes.
