Well, that was a read! Lol
But you do bring up a bunch of valid issues. I don’t think those problems will go away but it would be nice to see more people caring a bit more about trying to grow the platform than only themselves. That’s how we ALL win.
Nut hugging a whale is something I have yet to do and can’t bring myself to do. If they want to support my crap, amazing and much appreciated. But I will not beg for votes as so many here do as well.
On self voting, I do partake in that. I popped a lot of money into Steem and I am trying to grow obviously, but I also spread my measly vote out all over the place often to where my vp is dogshit. When I reach a certain personal goal, that will end so it’ll all go back in.
Anyway, great thought provoking read.
Peace!
