RE: Does self voting needs to be stopped in steemit.com
Give it time cryptopizza. A lot of the wales dump a ton of money into steemit, only to lose it back into the community by upvoting their poor content. Their loss, the community's gain. They'll continue to lose steem (or transfer more wealth into steemit, only to lose that as well) Sooner or later, that will catch up to them. The community will benefit because their steem will now be out there for everyone else. The people who continue to crank out good content will gradually work their way up and build a solid and faithful following. The whales who do not produce good content will eventually lose their following. Money can promote your post, but it can't buy you loyal friends. Eventually the good content creators will come out on top.
I hope that change will start soon.
You just have to be patient. It may not happen soon. It may take years. But things always eventually balance out. Look at Walmart. They were riding the top for a very long time. No one thought they could ever be taken down. Now comes Amazon. Walmart can no longer compete. Amazon is crushing them. Look at Google. Same thing. No one thought anyone could stand up to Google. But along comes Facebook. Facebook is giving Google a serious run for their money now. Facebook is so big and powerful Google can't buy them out. Facebook is riding the top....But they have gotten too greedy. They financially rape their advertisers and pay nothing back to the content creators. So what happens? Along comes Steemit. I believe Steemit will crush facebook. Because there is a need for content creators to get paid for their content. The minnows are building teams and coalitions. If among those teams and coalitions there is good content, that good content will rise rapidly. Those who rise will have steem + good content + a very loyal following. I don't care how much a whale has, none of them can compete with that.
