AH! What you don't realize is that Steemit is capitalistic by design, and runs on a decentralized and open market plaform. What you are suggesting is considered to be a "centrally authoritative change" and many are against it. Many who have come to steemit are venture capitalist investors who are hardcore capitalist. Not very many people, including Steemit Inc, would aprove of the changes you suggest s they are essentially "socialist" in nature.
I agree with you, however, in that a power distribution based on a curve rather than linear would be better overall. The true power of the platform should be held by dolphins, not whales.
Precisely. Hajin is simply one of those same Venture Capitalists. You notice that these flag accounts specifically pick on other whales "not in the founders club" to chastise. They're not "trying to make a better platform"... they're "eliminating the competition". AND cashing in on it as they go by playing the altruism card of "we're doing it for YOU, upvote and support us!"
It's just another money making racket... but one that singles out victims to attack rather than genuinely creating valuable content.
That's so ironic: being against social behaviour and using a social platform. They must have got something wrong. Being fair has nothing to do with being a socialist. It calms me down, that this post got so many upvotes.
Until B.sanders notices it and comes along and flags me for it.... i'm sure. his auto-flagger has had a field day with me recently for calling out such things.
Interesting. I thought he was the good whale? Flagging on opinions is legit? Are we capitalists or anarchists or what are we? To me both things are a contradiction. He should better flag me too.
That's just his marketing gimmick to cash in. Look at how much of the reward pool he makes on these goody goody "I flag to save the reward pool" posts... Lol.
A fair amount of it from his own sockpuppets and bots.
Yeah I also had that thought. Good to see others sharing my opinion. People enjoy watching this "flag-wars-show" going on not realizing it means lots of money. And not lots of valuable content.
