    The context there was declining rewards on your own posts. Why would I downvote myself? All of my posts are great!

    You are welcome to join the discussion and not just screenshot it by the way. Good exchange of ideas and people thinking about how to make Steem worth more, and whether directions being taken are the right ones (so far, generally not).

      I wouldn't want to impose on your echo chamber / safe space. You're a character I used to have a lot of respect for as a member of the community smooth. I even worried about you and others who got a lot of stick back when the price was higher.

      You claim "distribution is more important than quality" if quality is subjective then you go voting for the same content lazily because it's easier to predict that way. Let the people who actually care worry about user retention. You claim "redistribution" when you flag and then complain that the content here doesn't suit your interests and you have to support those who do even if they clearly (just check how few views and comments) clearly don't suit the interests of your userbase.

      You're like a Facebook investor who buys shares in Facebook and then complains that everybody writes crap you don't wanna read... Then you complain when the user base drops after you went around using your flag as a weapon to force people to change what they wrote to suit you better.

      You can claim subjectivity all you want but your actions cause reactions because of the power of your vote so if you can't open your eyes to the value of something that interests more than 200 readers then watch as this place gets quieter.

      What do I know though. I don't know if you care about the interests of others. I can only assume based on how you vote that you don't.
