RE: Attention STEEMIT Minnows: You Have Been Given A Opportunity And Trusted With Great Power - Start Using It Or You Will LOSE It

in #steemit7 years ago

I'm telling you: IT WILL BE.

That is, it will be IF minnows don't start voting.

If we keep up what we've been doing this last week, we are telling Steemit that we don't actually want this power -- that we can't handle it. And it will all be taken away.

So on that not I suggest that everyone share this post or write one of your own on this topic to spread awareness.

Sort:  

@shayne I hear what you are saying but there maybe other factors to consider. Prior to HF 19 I was using bots to do the majority of my voting and would let my VP get down to 50%. Since HF 19 I stopped all of the bots auto voting. Now I'm only doing manual voting.

Even thou I am voting less and not letting my VP get below 80% ( I have no idea if I'm a minnow or what I am) I am actually reading many more post and commenting more. I believe this new change in my approach is contributing positively to STEEMIT.

Thank you for this great post. Resteeming it.

I'm quite new on steemit, but I think some people are abusing of their own votes. They try to benefit of their own vote and they try not to waste their votes. I think steemit devs can find better options than to simply remove the weight of the minnows votes. For example they can add some limits for new accounts in the same way forums are doing. Or they can put more power in flagging...

I think minnows votes should carry some weight, but in the same time steemit community to be able to promote quality and quality creators and to prevent spam. And the steemit devs have to provide the means for that...
