we couldn't effect anything with our downvote to actually make a difference or keep garbage in check.
That's where I disagree. Sure, a 500SP minnows 100% downvote don't look like much. Not so if it's 1000 minnows. Every little action counts, expecially if coordinated. This reminds me of a project called @spaminator, not sure if the spelling is right.
But then for me to say that shows that I'm idealistic. Maybe you are right. But I'm not one to lay low and not do anything if I can do anything about it.
that's a very pessimistic view. nevertheless there's truth in it. I try not to dwell too much on it though, we do what we can do in our small little capacity.
I don't want to point fingers in any direction. But I can neither agree nor disagree with you.
I sometimes think a total rebranding "Antshare/NEO" style is neccesary if we wanna Steem going anywhere. Along with all the structural change that comes with.
