I pretty much detest fake people.
DOWNVOTE THIS BITCH is the sort of thing I want to say here, the fake culture has taken hold, and it is not healthy! I spent 2 decades being that guy in the local bar everyone would walk up to and shake hands with, that agreeable bit of muscle even the bouncers respected, it only gets you knives in the back when backs are turned, don't be like that, say it the way you see it.
I noted on here a couple of witnesses calling this culture of "agree with me as I have more sp" culture out, here is one.
And this brings us to another problem for witnesses: Pressure to tow the line.
I’m not saying that this happens with all witnesses, but there is a culture of cheerleading and shunning that occurs in this community and has occurred since day one. It has permeated every aspect of the platform, including – and especially – among witnesses. If you are critical of Steemit, Inc. or popular blockchain protocols (regardless of whether or not you believe that either are actually beneficial to the blockchain and community), then you can quickly find yourself on the outside looking in.
You get nothing in life by compliance!
Be a David, be a voice, I care not if not a single person upvotes this, I care more if you read it, be the change you want, make it so.
I got myself off auto vote trails on purpose, I am not a whale or performing animal in a circus, I want to say what I want when I want, not write on demand, you perform for me instead eh! I am not a monkey. :-)
Change it up people, change the culture, this place has just lost thousands of little people from not respecting them, I can look after myself, look after the small people before you are next, talk about life imitating art, nice try stinc and old heads, nice try, just "not quite" or maybe "must try better eh!".........
I have never seen anything like this before, where everyone lost their vote power, and just put up with it, complained to each other yet said nothing to ?
Take any complaint to the top of the shit pile, not the bottom, as you will get no return from the bottom, and the top need to know, as come on, he is a 30 year old confused mofo anyway, with his alt accounts, and freedom account that controls the witnesses, "mined" a few days after this place started, never blogged https://steemd.com/@freedom?page=159
This place mirrors life with "greed"
And they chortle whist the little people give to charity (vomit) yep it pretty much looks like that, so who is running this shit show? the jury is out for now, though I would suggest let them give more, and stop giving, as the greedy will always want you to give more, that is them to a "t" and them is what I am aiming for!
