This can all be changed by making a decision that you will not vote for this person any longer. If enough people do this, his reward pool will be cut off. I know who you are talking about... I don't agree with a lot of what you have written here but I do feel some of your frustrations with the site... Instead of leaving and complaining about it though, we should proactively try to do something about. I got involved with SG as my part to helping improve the site. Our first post was today: https://steemit.com/steemit/@donkeypong/announcing-steem-guild-a-second-stage-project-to-continue-supporting-good-authors-after-project-curie#@dragosroua/re-jrcornel-re-dragosroua-re-donkeypong-announcing-steem-guild-a-second-stage-project-to-continue-supporting-good-authors-after-project-curie-20161010t173752857z
Agreed. Unfortunately, the curation rewards appear to take priority. The founders started a bandwagon effect that a bunch of bots have latched on to and their controllers don't want to detach them as long as the money is flowing. Thanks for joining SG, by the way! Great initiative :)
