Still new here and trying to figure everything out. I am peripherally aware of the Whale Wars, but not enough to give meaningful input. What I will say is that either the community will police itself or there will be rules and regulations that police us. No matter the system there will be those that find ways to manipulate it and do better than others. We just have to figure out how we want that system to work and who we want to give an advantage. Right now the Whales have it. Are you suggesting that should change?

If you read my post, you will find out my view point: coming to a pragmatic solution to the current issue
Thanks for your comments and perhaps I was not clear with my thoughts. Sorry about that. First, I did read your post and my response is based on what you wrote sir. But the pragmatic approach says that if you build a platform where people are rewarded for creating power, lots of people (but not everyone) will simply look to create power (I am talking about the Whales here). If we do not want this to happen, it can certainly be taken away, but it will also give rise to another group that will also seek to gain power. They may want power to make a benevolent Steemit where good posts like your are always pushed to the top, but that will have to be imposed, it will not just happen in my humble opinion. So right now the Whales have the power. Are you suggesting that either they or some of them should have that power taken away? Or some of their power taken away? Thanks and your comments are always appreciated.
Thanks for your comment. I never suggested that the whales power or anyone power should be taken away. Rather I indicated that we all should treat others with empathy and compassion and if we are to compromise some voting power and upvote the little minnows, then we will do all including ourself a good service.
Thanks and I agree 100%. In fact we need more of this type of feeling and actions in the world today. People seem to be getting angrier , meaner and more selfish. Part of this is because people are more afraid I think. Keep advocating for what you are talking about and what you believe because history shows that change only happens when good people push for good things. I am a believer and support your efforts.
You are welcome and thanks for your comment
