I've been following the "debate" and reading comments. I've been silent because I think a person has the right to use their upvote power the way they want. If wants to upvote
with each post - the current steemit rules allow it. Knock yourself out.
However, I do think haejin's posts, for what they are, are over-upvoted. Therefore my upvote will go elsewhere.
I can't be silent anymore because this has gone too long without a resolution. This is decreasing the platform's value and hurting members that are trying to increase Steemit's value.
I do feel sad that ranchorelaxo isn't spreading the wealth and supporting minnows that are trying to make steemit great as well as supporting haejin.
Steemit's value will only grow if we support steemit minnows that are making great content. I don't want to even think about the minnows we have lost in the past that were discouraged because they post content that get's a few cents and see other content like haejin get $300-400. Haejin gets visibility because of the level he has received, but there is other crap content out there that get paid out big as well.
Clearly, upvoting rules are not optimal and there are many loopholes where upvoting is abused, misused, etc.
Where is and our mighty witnesses?
This debate needs resolution as it negatively affects all of us at this point.
I have never powered down since I joined but now I think Steemit is going the wrong direction until this is resolved.
Power down initiated. There is better crypto out there that deserves to be in my portfolio.
Steemit will organically grow so the problem with upvoting will be hidden. However, the upvoting problem will not be able to hide forever. It will only be harder to resolve in the future.
