let it be that's indeed their goal; most people that write posts are not even curators, they might upvote a bit, but not much, as they're too busy writing posts ...
but ok
If we were at the point that the product was about to officially launch and move from BETA to mainstream users - and we were still at the situation we have today with 30 whales having 90% of the influence and average users having no say, I would probably grab a pitch-fork and join you on your crusade.
I'll take peace with that for now ...
nice talking to you this time ... if you could maybe upvote some of my comments, I would really appreciate that
talk later ... on your next post ... about the whales consuming all the voting power ;-)
Upvoted this one at 100% because I feel it deserves it :)
Do you have Nextflix? If so, you would probably really enjoy an episode of "black mirror" called "nosedive". I think it does a good job highlighting some similar issues to what you have with Steemit, as well as gives a good example of someone going off on the system and being 'voted down' by those in power. If you check it out, let me know what you think :)
