MINNOWS GET A ROUGH DEAL ,AND THE PRINCIPLES AND AIMS OF BLOCK CHAIN AND FREEDOM FROM REGULATIONS MAYBE AN ILLUSION
So ive learned a few things on steem in the short time here , minnows struggle to earn pennies and exposure , while those with the steem power , have an advantage and tend to support each other with upvotes and resteems , minnows are thrown a bone by bots and each other , seems a bit like life , those who have get more those that dont get less , the solution buy your steem , which will help the price on exchanges ,
but some cant afford to drop 500 or 1000 dollars into a crypto , so hope and dream of climbing the ladder by participation , but find even a well written article a set of good photographs will fall down the page into obscurity so fast , its like watching the titanic on fast forwards ,
so i realize the playing field has a slope , and all the minnows at one end clambering over each other , hoping for a pull up by the demi gods sat opposite , just a scap and we are so grateful
but now a new element appears on the horizon , the demi gods may not give you a hand they may actually push you back , flexing their muscle and steem power , butting into a minnow gathering and laying down the law , despite their own self voting and insider cliques
they can reprimand a few minnows up voting each other in a vain attempt to earn a cent , with a pronouncement that they have worked hard to establish the platform , read income , and voting " shit " posts denigrates the whole , this is of course highly subjective and against any notion of freedom of expression , and what business is of theirs to enter an on going discussion and call it shit , then to my cost i found my steem power stripped away and several of my posts flagged , nice then as an added insult i was informed what i have done , i can undo , read im on a power trip, you will obey
is the block chain dream just a transfer of wealth and privilege from one group to another and are we about to learn the old maxim ,power corrupts works on all levels ,and like a fellow worker given a promotion to shift supervisor and an extra quid an hour , we will now learn the new boss is not your co worker ,friend or even equal they are your boss ,and you better get that message fast boyo
PS to the bigger fish whose flagging me , dont flag this
