RE: MONEY CANNOT REPLACE INTEGRITY: Why I Still Vote According To My Inner Compass Instead of Max ROI

in #whales7 years ago

I think it's really sad to sell your votes... because if someone has a certain reputation, whoever they vote on is basically given a "stamp of approval". If the vote was sold to a spammer, that approval can have devastating effects.

My vote isn't big (although bigger than that of many) but I refuse to sell it specifically because I want to know who I upvote and only upvote people who put effort in their posts. This, and only this, helps steemit to grow.

How is this platform supposed to grow if nobody takes it serious?

A whale might earn some additional money by selling votes instead of upvoting content that deserves it but if the platform goes down, they will lose everything.

I wonder if they really think that's worth it ...

please clone yourself. thanks.

I'm trying :P

agreed with you, if every one specially whales thinking like this then after some time that form breakdown very quickly so the seniors should think about that.

You are very right. I think they do not think as they probably have much more important matters to attend. And steemit for them is just a game, though a wise enterpreneur should see to his investment and now it is happening just in the opposite :)
