Theres a huge difference between tipping and upvoting.
Its surprising i would need to explain that.
Theres a whole philosophy thats at the core of steem built around the act of upvoting.

And you guys stripped all that from whaleshares.

Well you should have countered spam instead of destroying your own platform and devolving it into a barebones PoS.

When given a choice between:

1. Accumulate.
2. Tip.

Accumulation will almost always be the choice.
Thats not even a matter of contention.
Youll litterally have the 5 witnesses and a few devs going around tipping folks a few cents.

You guys mutilated the platform. You gutted it like a fish because you were afraid of conflict and werent willing to deal with abuse.

Its a sad sight, especially since i was pretty active there for months.
