The problem here is that @ned and @dan will not give an explanation why they downvoted. As long as that persists their actions can be considered bullying.
Maybe they feel bullied by the demands?
Seriously, you'd have t be crazy to think that @ned and @dan see Steemit as some kind of fiefdom, and if people do think that then why are they not leaving in droves?
I think it's all a storm in a teacup that'll blow over in a few days and then, possibly, we'll find out the real issue.
Feeling bullied by legitimate request of the community? They should have thought about that before they started this great system ;-)
I hope you're right and it will blow over, but it does demonstrate a flaw in the system we need to address.
As far as people leaving, we may not see that yet, but if this trend continues I'm afraid we'll have a large group of users that no longer, or only marginally, contribute.
There's a fair few I 'd like to see leave or at the very least change their behaviour. :-)
I'm not going to get upset about someone who goes on funded holidays by the places they visit to write reviews about their hosted location. And then re-posts that stuff on steemit but sticks the steemit logo on the pictures to give the pretence of exclusivity. I have no issue with sweetsssj personally what I disliked was the fact she brought over a lot of followers from her other sites and then started hoovering up votes that could have gone to less fortunate hard working minnows and from what little I saw rarely if ever rewarded comments thus spreading some of that good fortune around.
Again, that's just how I feel about the subject. Your view may well be different to mine. :-)
It is firstly not our problem. What did we do to think we have the right to demand an explanation? I am doing no such thing. I made my point along-side @dickturpin's point. That is that there has to be a bigger reason for this. None of these people are stupid enough to just mess around with all this power.
You do realize you are ranting-on about the very founders of this platform? They have the right to do whatever they want, quite frankly.
I absolutely love @sweetsssj for the value she brings to this platform. If anyone here knew even the slightest of how hard that young-lady works, you would disregard anything you have said about her. She deserves every bit of success she has made here.
Personally, I believe a person only has a say, once they have paid the price. Try taking 1000 pictures in a day, then trying to sort through all of them, then pick the best ones down to a single few photos, then edit each one.. And that's only like 20% of the whole process. Forget about content as a whole. Try replying, in-depth, to over 250+ comments per post! She doesn't make enough!
Anyways, I literally wrote enough on this thread already to make a full post lol.
Cheers, and let's all be friends :) Instead of worrying about other people's crap, just work on yourself and achieve your own dreams! Talk soon.
