RE: Why I am negative to "WhaleShares" and believe it will be another "RewardPool-RAPE" for #STEEM.
Let's vote for what is most important or the truest to us.
Do you?
Let's vote for what is most important or the truest to us.
Do you?
I try to.
We don't see most of the posts so we can only vote for the posts we see, obviously.
Most of the post or authors I vote for don't mention money and that's something I don't understand. If we are to be true, we need to acknowledge the place of money in our life and in our society and its impact. The very life of all people on Earth is subservient to money so rationally we should give this topic the place it deserves.
People are literally starving to death over the lack of it. We can't ignore those facts. People need to be talking about money creation and wealth concentration, these aren't just some subjects we should talk from time to time.
I don't see people addressing these subject the way they need to be. This is the case for a lot of subjects.
A lot of the posts and authors I support right now are people that support me back so that I can become a more influential Steemian. Being a more influential Steemian helps our posts to get more visibility. That being said I never hesitate to vote for someone who doesn't support me but whose post is the truest.
I agree with @teamsteem - we have a saying in India - 'Up there is God, and down here its Money'.
But @fyrstikken is making a valid point.
I believe that the reason people are starving around the world is that people with money have bought 'votes' and are now deciding what according to them is best.
They think that it doesn't matter what happens to all those people starving - they go about their lives and build more weapons and start wars to make sure that they always remain in power.
To remain in power these same people 'rig' the voting system and buy the votes and the whole circle starts all over again.
That is why you have 1% of the people owning 99% of the world's wealth.
If the votes are being sold and bought here on Steem - then it's the same scenario repeating itself.
In the real world, it's difficult to get rid of such politicians - I hope this is not the case on Steem.
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and all other Social networks will eventually perish because of this very reason, they want to make money at other people's expense - as is happening with @mericanhomestead.
Steem may be the first one of it's kind - but remember Facebook came after MySpace.
I get you.
At the same time I think those who will pay for vote on Steem should make less profit in the long run than those who don't have to pay for vote but are creating genuine consensus.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Yes we have to identify such people by analyzing and we have to make some group who stand for the protection of steem. Our comment will be a symbol of a good post or so.. but its not a very good idea .. need some good suggestions.
