(please forgive errors with grammar, my English is good but sometimes I can make some mistakes with tenses and other formalities).
Why can some people break the rules but others get brutal enforcement of "rules" ?
For instance , I see quite frequently people got in trouble for copy and pasting the same article and information in multiple posts. And enforces this but then looks the other way for other popular people.
What do you think ? You seem like you stand up for what is right even if not popular position?
Why can Mr. Potatohead keep posting the same post and be on the trending page all the time but others would get flagged to nothing for doing the same thing. And also , that is not even enough for them but they also then have people vote additional comments in the post. This seems to be abuse. Or is it ok for everyone to do this?
but but but.... they are posting this to fix the SBD value so I guess the ends justify the means? Why this needs to be fixed in this manner? What the hell is going on with the SBD that we need Mr. potatohead posts all the time in trending. Why not fix the SBD another way like changing the problems from the source?
Also, same thing for all these burn posts in trending.
Why not vote the small accounts and keep interest for small minnows instead of playing hungry hungry hippo with all the rewards with Potatohead posts and burn posts. Use the votes to spread them to new users. Yeah, they all say that all the rewards go to fixing STEEM but they are all still benefiting in certain ways by circle jerking curation rewards and advertising their other projects which will then benefit them like steemvoter that uses your account to vote if you use their service.
So either the ends justify the means and there's a double standard or everyone follows the "rules". Everyone sees the big and popular accounts doing these activities so they imitate them but the small accounts get flagged and then get confused frustrated and leave while the big accounts get away with breaking the rules. They need to lead by example. It's confusing for new users to see this on trending and also anyone looking at STEEM and considering investing they will wonder what is wrong with STEEM because most of the trending posts are about fixing SBD and Burning STEEM.
These posts are all very similar and seem to be autogenerated with no effort and are very over rewarded. Again, I understand their intent is to help STEEM but these are forced actions and the only way to improve STEEM is with organic interaction and not force and manipulate the economics of STEEM.
I have been thinking about all these things the last couple of days because I have been flagged a lot by some trolls but also because I was blacklisted. I did nothing wrong but was hacked in steemengine by fiftysats/superheroes. I changed my keys and the witness guiltyparties was very good to help me get off the blacklist. But during this time I kept reading about all the flagging and abuse going on but then I saw it's going on in plain sight and everyone just looks the other way.
Anyway I feel better now that I wrote my feelings down and also that I can post again. I don't post a lot and I usually just make some memes and have been getting back in shape so tried Actift. I'm not a major blogger and not a crypto expert. I like to make funny comments and support good members and will now be trying to help newer members to encourage them.
Now here's some memes I made
