I think that this really needs to be said, and to be honest, there is so much greed on this platform, it is crazy. And no one dares to stand up and say something about it or speak on the fact that a lot of these whales are just self voting and are just being plain out greedy. Although, not all of the whales/dolphins on this platform are greedy or bad, the majority stay within their own cliques and upvote themselves and their homeboys. Watch, i'm going to get flagged down by a greedy angry whale. Mark my words...lol.
So, I honestly have respect for you, . You were willing to call the greedy self voters out and they don't like it. And that's why you've been getting flagged. You've even been deemed "bad for the platform" by the steemit founders. Isn't that crazy....Just by calling out the self voters and speaking the truth.
I honestly think that the system of steemit is rigged and the rich people on here have their won little circle where they vote on each other and make each other more powerful. And when they do vote on someone else, it is very little.
I mean, just look at what this one commenter had to say about the greed:
And look at this whale who keeps commenting on this guy's posts and keeps upvoting himself.
And all of those 15-20 dollar votes on his own comments is the same whale. So selfish and greedy, it's disgusting.
So please don't try to justify all of this greed, because it exists on here. Face it, steemit is filled with rich people who are greedy and everyone kisses up to them and defends them because they want a small piece of the pie. Something needs to be said. The greed it real on here. And the thing is, when you point it out, all you get is hate, and that is what happened to .
My last post of complaining about the selfish people on here just got a bunch of mad whales trying to justify their selfish self-voting rampage. Not all whales are like this, but a lot of them jsut upvote each other and give minnows breadcrumbs to they cover themselves and make themselves look good by sparing a 5% upvote to someone with a mildly decent article.
And the thing is, they said that I have expectations of post values or payouts, and heres my replay to that: Hell no I don't! Have you even listened to what I was saying? I never expect my posts to do well, but it is frustrating as hell to see some stripper chinese model get a bunch of money by self voting herself posting about her travel adventures and selfies funded by her steemit boob money. It's disgusting. Cough cough.....
It is also disgusting when you try your hardest and make consistent and decent content and all you get is pennies, while someone posts a stupid post and gets so much for it. Steemit is so unbalanced. I'm not saying to have expectations, but at least have some standards! Come on!
