You've helped me out a bit and I appreciate that Aggroed, so I voted for you for witness.
Fantastic breakdown. The platform is just over a year old and I think as we go along it will continue to be tweaked as certain problems arise, like pig pilling. Keep speaking up. I for one have your back.
I don't have the juice this guy does so I can't promise to "have your back".
I'm totally irrelevant at this point.
So, I'm just gonna go over here and work on my "poetry".
Hundreds of minnows & dolphins can indeed have a major effect. While my vote may not be worth a lot yet, it will be in time and I will remember how Aggroed helped a lot of us little guys out.
I'll remember him too.
Did you catch the part that "93% of the steem rests in 1% of the users"?
Tell me what "hundreds of minnows and dolphins" are going to do.
Saying "I've got your back" is pandering bullshit, and if I can see that, he probably does too.
@aggroed just has better manners than me.
Witness voting is based per user, so, ya those hundreds of users can have an effect for Aggroed. As for for upvoting & re-steeming and the 93%, like I said our votes will continue to gain power, unless of course you choose to wallow in self pity, bullshit cheap shots, & poetry.
Is it wallowing in self pity to point out that a system is designed to be unfair?
Unless you are going to join the wealthy crowd FIRST and then profit from gaming Steemit, you're delusional. Speaking of cheap shots...
And nothing wrong with wallowing in poetry. Except for those that see no value in anything not cash, and are incapable of seeing actual value in the content of a man's speech.
OK, let's say a bunch of whales start flagging every post he makes.
Tell me, What are you going to do for him (or her, I guess)?
If you had the intellectual honesty to admit you were just sucking up, I could respect that.
Pander, seems to be working just fine.
You do that. I have no interest in pandering. Neither do I have any interest in a system that considers pandering valuable speech.
Neither do almost all the people Steemit needs to become a platform capable of more than a Ponzi scheme.
I used to do a lot of poetry, but stopped. I will check out your work.
I resemble that remark!
What irks me most is that the human race doesn't seem to have any shortage of disingenuous pricks who always seem to collect at the rear of the phalanxes, pushing everyone in front of them into a meat grinder, while proclaiming, "I've got your back."
There seems to be two classes of people that are the enemies of mankind. There is a class that views themselves as superpredators, and ourselves their prey. Our organs conveniently fit in their bodies, and our women can bear their young.
There is another class, that will gladly serve them, that lives in denial this other class feeds on us (or doesn't care, or is perversely glad of it), and by their slavish service, enable their masters to fatten on us all.
It is we, the free men and people of Earth, who are the cattle that bleed the cash they live on.
And when they prick us, we do bleed.
