RE: The sadness in what was supposed to be a happy ending...Hardfork .19 is now doing harm due to some selfish people
I am not saying it is not a problem, but I do think it is slightly exaggerated. Some people are going to vote for themselves. I think the extent of it is really what matters. If 90% of your votes are going towards other people and 10% of your votes are going towards yourself - that is probably not a huge deal. If 90-100% of your votes are going to yourself, then that is probably a bigger issue. For people like that, that is one of the main reasons down-votes exist.
At the end of the day, there are going to be people that do things for the good of the community, and there are going to be people who do things for selfish reasons, and there is a whole spectrum in between. You can decide for yourself how you want to use your influence, time, and energy on the platform. Hopefully what we will see is more people making the choice to do things for the good of the platform.
(upvoted at 2% for visibility)
Upvoted at 100%, cause this smart dude was my first ever witness vote, and one of the most helpful people I met in my first 24 hours on steemit. And he's right here, again, you know. Thanks again @timcliff, and save my vote money, because I find one more thing of yours to 100% on and you'll have enough money for the coke machine down the hall! :D
Exactly, you just earned my respect the more @timcliff. Nicely said.
thank you my friend.
