I couldn't help but laugh myself when I came up with that bit. Advertising people getting a 'taste of their own medicine' ... their 'Just Rewards.' In fairness to me, I have, for years, been telling clients: "Don't Lie." The most powerful technique in advertising is "force-multiplying a self-evident truth" ... not "camouflaging a self-evident lie." You'd be surprised how hard it is to get people to believe that.
STEEM/Steemit needs to take this to heart. Either we're serious about content be compensated on the basis of quality ... or we're not. If it's the latter, the entire premise of the blockchain evaporates and what then becomes the appeal for new users (that we desperately need)? If we are to grow, we have to adopt some self-discipline.
Whale/Orca upvoting capital MUST be concentrated in supporting Manual Curators, not delegating to bidbots and other vote-gaming mechanisms. The model Whales/Orcas employ for generating Passive Income has to change. If this doesn't happen, we'll quickly become the MySpace of crypto-currency-backed social media platforms. Viable competition is right around the corner.
