Ned should be the role model of the platform. He is the CEO. Where in the fucking world could you have a CEO of ANY company act the way he does? It is completely adverse to the platform and he does exactly what we hope users do not do. This extreme self voting is disrespectful to the people who make steem great with great content and also to Dan. We have no hope unless the people in charge: Ned, Sneak, either change their ways or are removed from their positions.
I want steem to succeed and not fall apart. Obviously he either doesn't care or is completely ignorant to this. Greed could play a role. But I am completely in the same mind set as you , and i think there needs to be more transparency and more active development from the people being paid to do so.
Thanks for bring more attention to this matter. Stinc really gets on my nerves.
