RE: This is what a top HIVE witness does: self comment+voting and downvote-retaliation
"Now I have your attention? Good!" -> That's exactly what I would say.
Trust me, with my resources I could do much more than you can even imagine.
Maybe you are right. But during the past two years of my Steem experience, I don't think I have seen much improvement. Not undermining what you have done - it's just what I and many others feel.
It is NOT my intent to harm Steem or milk rewards.
Then why have you done self comment+voting? How can you explain what you have done?
Your long reply does not say anything about this. And your "supporters" even admit that what you have done is milking.
And speaking of "aggressive propaganda"... I wonder whether you haven't seen what your HIVE buddies have done on Steem (aggressive/abusive comments, spams, etc.)
In a way that you can understand that? I doubt it's possible, but lets try:
I boosted visibility as much as it was possible for someone who is censored.
Tips: it was temporary and no rewards was ever extracted.
Because apparently you can't even understand what you are reading.
