Maybe, we can get a vow from the whales that they won't purposely target all the celebs who show up on the SteemIt platform ? Can we get a verbal vow ( in comments ) you won't do this and only support minnows submissions? What does the community think about this ? I SAY WE GET OUR GRASSROOTS COMMUNITY BACK!
I miss the grassroots political voice we had here to begin with. All the anarchists that were getting paid for outlandish socialist theory aren't getting paid and have either left or just don't care about their accounts anymore. I say you're onto something. We need to spread the wealth a lot smarter. If I were a whale I know where I would be spending my curation power, on good original and informative content that teaches people new things, not rants about bugger all that by the end of it you feel like you've wasted ten years of your life.. Just my opinion.
There's also the fact that there's not enough whales to vote everyone's content and that they're working hard to promote steemit by any means necessary. Upvoting celebrities is a good way to reel in their fan base. However they're forgetting, if you reel in that fan base through the promise of money, you better be able to pay those fans... What a conundrum we're experiencing.
Greatest social experiment ever!
Great post @senseiteekay! I was just looking at @falkvinge the dude is already cashing everything out! I wish we could bring back the old days on Steem :/

It's okay, those who remain loyal to the platform will benefit in one way or another down the line.
On a positive note, you've inspired my next post ;)
I agree, and I have addressed this cult-of-personality riding the money-making bandwagon of popularity here, from small to large voters alike: Steemit Succeeds if We Make it Succeed - Analysis to Help Yourself and Steemit Grow in Quality
Take care. Peace.
GRASSROOTS FOR SURE
GRASSROOTS FTW!!!
Agreed
Or they could just spend all their votes on the commentors of this post and your good self! I could live with that lol
