For those that thought they were building a powerhouse of power bloggers this is a difficult time, they are realizing that social media has a lot more of the unwashed than they had in mind when they opened the doors.
Not all of us can blog like you, @krnel, nor should we, somebody has to do the voting,....
Steemsports, imo, was shut down due to rampant wealth speading, most of my sp comes from them.
Now we have a new redistribution scheme and I am looking for the ban hammer to fall just as quick as it reaches the mainstream,...
When a whale votes everybody else loses, perhaps whales should lighten up on the little guys, for the good of the platform.
80% of nuthin' is still nuthin',...
As long as sp sharing doesn't pass, and a new reward curve does, Steemit will make sense to the small fry, and maybe we can keep some of them from leaving soooo fast.
so that's a problem, half for the creator and the rest for the minnows, I never liked the concept, or resteeming and upvoting something I didn't care abut that much just for the rewards :|
Resteeming doesn't get you any rewards, clogs your blog, and annoys the folks here that value original content.
I do it rarely.
And I agree, if I don't like it, I don't vote it.
The problem is that the upper echelons of the hierarchy doesn't like their influence getting watered down, and I was making bank by voting for the right teams.
SS was making bank, too.
Their sp was gonna make them a super whale, I may have called it first, but I certainly called it.
My idea was to start powering it down and add it to the reward pool, but instead they just took it offsite and put it behind a pay wall.
Now there is another, I won't out him because I am again making bank, but the issue is gonna come up again, I'm sure.
I will keep it to resteeming :D

Yeah personally I support authors I like newbies and resteem to brig some light in and add to the conversation hopefully(still building up that following :) )
But yes I try to keep a theme going and not resteem 10 stuff a day.
Maybe Maybe , politics :D
I do remember those whale banks, so you say they "failed", it's a complicated issue I suppose. But there are some vote guilds that function like a whale vote, bot armies were on the rise for a while too :D the concepts need to be fleshed out more I suppose.
Well I'm following you now. So I hope that helps!
I really need to remember to log out of @tradeqwik before commenting.
xoxo so it was you :D yu guys running multiple accounts, come on no fair :D
Still have to read the VIVA post
Cheers @williambanks !!!
I'm out for now :)
I will be posting hopefully soon enough, the tide has calmed down so I can ride the boat again I suppose :)
what's that about steem sports has it been cut already?
It used to be that you could vote the post and vote the comment of your choice to win and share in the rewards pool.
There were issues in that ss didn't want to share the sp, and was taking over half the money the post gathered.
Also they were powering up toooo many minnows,....about half of my sp came from them.
