RE: Upvote Shares Level 19 (100% Complete)
Yes @macoolette …
”… I am part of the drama that @costanza mentioned. I started to get downvote on my last two posts. I think I am on that account's auto-downvote list.”
… as am I and many others. Same 4 accounts … I took this up with @costanza via DM. I also elected to try and engage this moron here, although I was under no illusions it would make any difference. He has had his bidbot operation trashed post HF 21 / 22, so he is presumably acting out of vengeance.
Sadly, he has elected to make the SBI program one of his targets. About the only “saving grace” is there are hundreds, if not thousands, of these SBI beneficiary accounts, so the more he finds and adds them to his downvote list, the more dilute his “damage” becomes. At which point, it will become more of a symbolic act than anything.
The big question for me is are we just at the beginning of a concerted effort to “stomp out” any program like SBI. That will become the big target, if so. There are a lot of “murmurings” about SBI from a lot more than this character. If that comes to pass, this program would hopefully come “into focus” later, if at all, due to its considerably smaller size and, therefore, “off the radar” a bit …
We can agree to disagree on where the drama is. SteemIt is only a part of the Steem blockchain, not the whole of it. An important and influential organization, no doubt, but the EIP changes of HF 21 / 22 affect all of us, whether we use SteemIt or not. I personally quit using SteemIt over a year ago …
Nice to hear from you my friend. While far less active than I once was, I am “still around.” So … We will presumably find out together how all of this “drama” plays out.
Until “next time,” all the best to you for a better tomorrow!
