Would this apply to comments too? A lot of those only make a couple of cents and that may be all some people get. Not that they will get far that way anyway. I can see some merit in the idea, but we have to be wary of alienating the minnows.
Meanwhile others are milking the system for much more with self-votes on junk comments. I'd hope whales can deal with those. That shouldn't be too hard to trace as votes would come from certain accounts.
Yes
Yes, more downvoting (in cases like these) would help as well
Many that could or would are now blind voting what they are told to.
Who is telling them? It's up to the whales if Steemit survives. They can go for the short time win or help the platform thrive.

It is perhaps a symptom of the crypto sentiment in general, a long hold is 6 months. To build a community takes years.
I really cannot support this proposal cause it would mean that my upvotes have become worthless! Just like ten thousands of others!@steevc and @tarazkp I am sorry to inform you that due to the new relegations the upvotes of Steve to Tamara has become worthless because I did not meet the threshold! Taraz you can assure that Stevens voting power will not be elimated by upvoting your own comment! Is this the direction we want to go!
