After reading so many posts about whales, dolphins and minnows... and then reading even more.
One would hope that everyone gets the point by now.
Then to go through thousands of complaints and posts of how they make nothing and crap is being upvoted... Well I'm just going to say one thing GROW UP... life is UNFAIR... I'm 19 and I live in Africa. Nothing is ever perfect! If everyone thinks their posts are so amazing, well then, guess what, no body is going to get any votes...
Now on the bright side
Well steemit is new, very new and still is in beta----> this means that there is still a lot of things that will be changed and I'm sure that they will put a few whaling ships out there just to make things "fair".
The site and the way it works will be changed countless times, I can promise you that. Once more as more and more uses flood in, new problems appear and boy do I feel sorry for the people having to update and re-work the platform.
For all those mates working on the platform... a huge GOOD LUCK!
Cut them some slack people. They have just been working round the clock on the hack and other issues and still getting people their accounts back.
I am sure they will sort out this issue next as many of you users are unhappy.
I'm positively sure that they don't want you to be unhappy. They could be already working on a solution to this whale problem right now. Lets not drive the programmers crazy... you know we kind of "do" need them.
Probably how you are feeling
I'm sure all the writers out there that don't get votes feel like this and well it is understandable. There are so many posts getting loads and you might really need the $$$, but most of the people on here do or they wouldn't be here just yet. Lets not go crazy and loose our heads. Sit back and relax a little, you don't want to provoke the whales or bite the hand that will feed you.
You can't blame them
I personally know of all the spam and junk posts which there are out there. This covers your amazing posts and hides them from these Whales. Most of the whales have a job and are working they can't spend 3 hours looking through it all to find your post. On top of that they only have a certain amount of voting power, meaning that they can't vote for everyone. I personally have taken on the job of sorting through the junk to look for really good posts. It takes forever! Here's a suggestion: try look for 2 post that isn't yours that is really good that will make a difference in your life. You will see its not that easy. BUT I do believe that all this will change.
THEY are not monsters
Once upon a time these whales were where we are right now. They are human believe it or not, they do have feeling and they do care. They want change just as much as we do and want to help us out. They just don't have the time so let the programmers sort the problem out. Before the whales are forced to not vote... then no one gets any money
Think before you do things.
