WhaleShares: Forked Up Beyond All Recognition
I rarely pay much mind to WhaleShares lately but to claim rewards and vote maybe a couple posts for curation. It looks like even that is going away.
What I called it earlier is a gasoline soaked dumpster and hard fork 4 is the match ready to kindle it.
I also likened the changes to a double amputee when all could have been averted with a lil bit of incentivized flag ( the antibiotics if you will)
Created the following for the occasional and shared to WLS. I've tried reasoning with Jamie on multiple occasions and others but the impression I got was "Flag Man Bad". This was months ago and here we are today.
Presently, I would not advise investing in WhaleShares. The only reason Inhold my tokens is most were gifted to me. Perhaps, things will change but I am not holding my breath.
I put a lot my confidence in Steem as we have embraced the power of the downvote properly employed. Price hasn't quite got the memo just yet but maybe give it more time. 🕜
In her defense, trial by fire has worked before right?
My biggest contention is and always will be...
Oh, that's right.
Y'all nerfed them and THEN took em away!
While WhaleShares lathers the Crisco on the slide down to obscurity, Steem isn't faring much better.. but it has been holding BTC price more of less..
It's like they rotated their hip a bit on the slide so their cheeks grab hold. Will it give way or will they butt shimmy their way back up the slide.
Who knows?
But I don't see the same for WLS. A lot of development but, in my humble opinion, in the ass backwards wrong direction.
It took Ned stepping down before we starting seeing promising changes to Steem. Sometimes, a change of leadership is necessary.
I think the same is the case here but we can continue beating the dead horse to kill the time in the interim.
Giddy Up!
If you want more details on my criticisms, review my comments on WhaleShares. (I guess)

i still use whaleshares from time to time
I never had a great feeling about WS, and gave up after being invited to a circle jerk.
The problem I see, is that people generally do not like to agree on things, and even in my attempt at trying to be a part of an abuse fighting team, what I felt was a clear cut definition of abuse, is evidently not. So, for the time being I am not using my downvotes at all. I like the idea of collective agreement, not chaotic confusion.
Overall I feel downvotes play a vital role in maintaining the utility and health of Steem, but it would be nice if people could just come to some common grounds on what clear cut abuse is.
Good insight. I welcome you to join us over at @steemflagrewards and be a part of providing feedback as we update our abuse definitions that we reward downvotes against.
I can't say there will be no chaos at all as I believe some degree is inevitable as people with different opinions and values come together. It's a matter of how we manage, cope and deal with the chaos that defines us.
We can mitigate it but we cannot eliminate it much like abuse on Steem. (Which is articulated in the WP)
In my opinion, steemit community must take some valuable decesion to tackle the upvoting of whales.
Now a days I find a lots of low value content in steemit, because they backed by voting of whales may be through upvot bot.
This is creating a negative impact on whole platform.
Since hardfork 21 at end of August 2019, various changes have been implemented to help combat these issues. Recently, the amount of people abusing the platform in ways you describe has been decreasing.
There is still a lot of work to do, but trends are promising.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks @abitcoinskeptic!
Thank you

I do what I can for the honor of the blockchain.
Maybe youll answer me here, since you have given me 0 fundamentals behind you not liking the new hf except "i dont like it"
@anthonyadavisii
I'm trying to comment to the fellow above you but the GUI is killing me on mobile.
I made arguments against archival and the tipping system. I agree w @scipio in that such a system seems already present.
So, in that regard, seems we aren't necessarily adding anything per se... But taking it away.
On the GUI issue, it's odd when I try to paste it scrolls all the way down so the text box is no longer visible. I though my comment had a bit more substance than "I don't like it" so not sure which one you are looking at precisely.
Glad to talk about it though.
I should log in to Whaleshares again to see what's going on. It's been over a year. Maybe I whaled and didn't even know it.
You should probably log in after the hf where the spam is going to be cut down quite a bit, currently its in a very spammy spot where only users that farm wls are posting pretty much, obviously there are quite a bit of users that post quality but yeh know, hard to find the needle in the haystack.
