@happyme many splendid, coherent and to the point thoughts from you on these comments mate. I totally agree with your standpoint. :)

I was thinking the same thing myself, but at the same time wondering if a post like that would upset some of the whales and make them down-vote me when I already don't have any power.

Well, ¿Who cares about this above? At the end of the day none of the whales could get away with it for long. If they are not here authentically for the sake of the community, sooner than later they will be exposed for their misbehavior and will be stranded on the surface of this steemit ocean to be harpooned by everyone all over the world. Never be afraid to spit your mind out with full and lucid clarity. We already arrived here penniless and in the same way we can retire outta here happily humming the same song of humility and poverty with which we arrived.

In fact, we'd have not even lost anything material in the process or through the journey. It would be all a simple mirage and an illusion uncrystallized. One more of many. ¡Only that! But we will always have gained immense value in experience and wisdom about how society and the human mind reacts and works every time, without us fearing to show ourselves faithful to what we think and truthful to what we are. No more, no less. :)

"Truth only hurts those who support evil people"

Therefore, I think I will continue to advocate the option of yanking steemit's developer team's ears so hard as to they consider that for the next Hard Fork 19, as an experiment at least, do not allow anyone, absolutely no one to have the ability to vote unless they have first read an article from top to bottom. Let's humanize this steemit gizmo once and for all. ¡Death to the bots! ¡No more Blind Upvotes! Curators will have no choice but wide open their eyes, move their asses throughout the entire post and crack their fingers to manually vote in real time if they want a piece of the pie. }:)
