No, its not.
They take delegations from newbs that dont know better and vote the established people.
Its a redistribution scam.
From those that dont math to those that do.

According to the numbers, it's often worth even for newbs to invest in it.

They are rewarded proportionally, which involves huge potentials for a good content creator.

Maybe not the biggest ROI on the platform but is a good proportion for value.

If you can't see it then I can't help you. Listen to reason, not emotions

Got any graphs of data, or am I supposed to take you word on it?

As you can see, I'm writing from Android - not really in a position which allows me to create colorful charts and stuff. You can check the outgoing votes of @steem-ua on steemworld.org, as well as the data of the posts voted on.

You can compare those with the delegation of the post author, the numbers (in terms of ROI) will speak for themselves.

As for quality, that needs a bigger sample. For that, I'm following @trufflepig, a machine learning bot trained on Steem posts - check out how many of posts highlighted by it are also supported by SteemUA, that should be considered an objective measurement maybe.

Do your own research, I'm just here to spread the word and goodwill (which in turn means that you may take my word on it as well, I consider myself credible in the matter anyway)

Using ninjamined stake denies a level playing field to those that arent so favored.
When does ua stop taking a subsidy from my vote?

I will find somebody to do the math, give me a little time.

The project itself would be too weak without delegations. They can't just vote on every single user according to their UA score.

The stronger it is, the more high-UA accounts get. And UA is not directly related to SP.

Correlation of course, is another question

Right, so the already favored are getting even more, at the expense of the newbs that don't understand the math.

If somebody makes a profit, ie high ua accounts, then that profit has to have correlating loss associated with it.
Somehow I doubt it is whales giving steem away.

I'll get a better analysis of the math, give me a bit.

Of course lol, what did you expect.

Everyone wants income, you can't get rid of it and rely on altruism.

Even I wouldn't give my income up just because you said so, and I swear I would never just sit and let anyone, including you, take it away.

Be rational and realize human desires. They won't go away in the next 10 thousand years at best, anyway. Accommodate to them.

Provide a system in which everyone has income. A system that favours the low-class only will eventually collapse, exactly like one that favours only the top.
