Good morning. Tonight I learned that good whales actually stop the less good whales when they abuse the system. The hottest topic lately is that some whales self upvote every single one word comment with the pure intention of TAKING and with NO INTENTION OF GIVING BACK... When this happens, good whales that care about this community will square off with them and put a stop to it.
Planet steemit trembles when these titans clash...
No..... seriously now lol...
I was reading the amazing Steem Daily Forecast and one of the issues brought up is that there is much discontent with the abuse of self-upvoting of some whales. And I got into a conversation with the legendary . He really showed me a thing or two that shed a lot of light on this issue. LEGEND...
He is not a whale hater and as I said so many times I am not a whale hater. I was accused of that tonight in one of my threads. They are major shareholders in this great platform and without them there is no steemit. I have also said many times they have a right earn and they deserve it as they reached whalehood one way or another. It is the abuse of their privilege that the community is not happy about.
In this part of the conversation I learned that self upvoting does have a place and it is a valuable thing to do in the right way and not just for monetary reasons. But an open system does have a vulnerability to certain whale abusing the system. But I breathed a sigh of relief when he pointed out that other whales can counteract these actions. There are benevolent masters watching over us. Like these good and bad masters...
The most valuable thing I learned is that the good whales really do care about this misconduct as they have high stakes in the reward pool and when someone is raping it, they will step in when necessary and use their super powers...
Thank you for your insight. I hope you got some value out of this.
Upvote and follow if you found this to be useful. And I would most appreciate a resteem.
