This is such nonsensical position I don't know where to begin. People cannot police themselves that's why they must be policed by people.

Police don't allow mobs to go around lynching people which is the type of behavior this change is encouraging. It's not about community self regulation either like it's being sold. This only empowers the largest wallets, of which there are few, with the largest ones being those who are proposing these changes. It's regulation by the 1% just like the mainstream media where billionaires use their power to produce propaganda rags for their cause and stifle dissenting voices. All of the changes I can see Steemit making are ones that favor their position on the blockchain, including normalizing a culture of downvoting behavior, and providing free downvoting mana so the largest wallets, most of whom are anonymous and could easily be multi-accouting, can more easily steer the reward pool into their own hands.
What makes you think "the Whale experiment" was a success?
You mean this stuff?

Looks like a total clusterfuck with zero data on what happened and therefore no way to measure success. Most of the comments are negative and it looks like several people left the platform over it.

However I did not ask what other people thought of it, I asked why you thought it was a success. Care to answer that question or not?
I'm not biased for or against the so-called experiment. You asked me to search for it and the first thing that popped up on Steem results was chaos and people quitting over it. That is why I asked for your opinion in the first place, because you claimed it was a success, and I wondered why. Clearly your claims that everyone approved of it were demonstrably false, and I still haven't seen anything in the way of data on how or why it was a success, only that a certain subset of people approved of and are cheerleaders for it. Expecting large accounts to act in concert for the good of the community rather than self interest is naive in my opinion, and I don't think anyone is prepared for the chaos that will be unleashed with free downvotes, but I hope that I'm wrong and you are right.
If you think the price of STEEM had anything to do with this then you clearly don't understand how the crypto markets work.
My lazy ass needs links to that trove of info about the “Whale Experiment”, care to point me in the right direction?
I am glad you pointed out your comment was entirely nonsensical. People cannot police themselves contradicts claiming they must be policed by people.
Read your comment again. Laugh with me.
I flag trash. You have received a flag.
