Does Steemit Model really Support Equality? Steem Power Needs to be Revamped

One of the large problems that I see with the Steemit business model is the Steem Power design. While I completely understand the founders original intent, like all business models they need to modify as to what works and what does not.

The current design of Steem Power is greatly flawed. First, the ability for any person to downvote any article needs to be removed. Can you imagine in a free and open election that a person can vote for one person, then turn around and downvote the opposition? Not only downvote the opposition, but to do that 32 times? Steemit advertises that it's platform is a free market, free speech zone. As a recent new user, this is far from reality.

I have over 50,000 followers in my social media and I was asked to join Steemit by friends who hold the currency. I told them to sell it when it was over $2.09 because I was not liking what I was seeing people do in Steemit to each other. It was like America Online (AOL) back in 1996. It was the wild west. We all know how AOL eventually failed and sold out for pennies on the dollar. Or, many users in Steemit may not know this as they were not born yet, so they are repeating the same type of bad business practices and history.

Two days ago, I decided to test this myself with an article of what i was seeing and the problems. The whales gangs came out as if I was wearing a rolex in a high crime area loaded with gangs on the streets. WOW! The whales took the bait and were hooked where they came to kill....more like killer whales...

I wrote about this over the last few days, and was grossly attacked, stalked, threatened and my Steemit page crushed. The people who did this find it funny. Frankly, their action has merely re-enforced all my concerns about just where Steemit and the value of Steem is really heading from here.

What I am seeking is the Steemit gangs teaming up where they vote for each other back and fourth which is not disclosed on the web site about this. Thus, it misleads the public where people earning $500 for an article, are not receiving 500 votes at all. Yes, people are making money being paid in Steem. The wild card is just how many people are really earning real money in Steemit, as compared to buying Steem with Bitcoins, then voting for yourself and other Whales and they vote for you. Thus some of this activity is like an old fashioned chain letter, in a sense. In this case, the Whales cross vote or feed each other and they are rewarded to become more powerful where the normal author must do as they are now dictated to or they will be attacked and called rude names. In America, as call such acts fascism. Again, not by everyone in Steemit, but the founders appear to have meant well, but they have lost control to people who are actually ruining what they have created to the point where if not changed, it will eventually fail.

Also, people with Steem Power have the ability to downvote an article at ratios as high as 100 to one. I am finding it very common where if 20 people upvote an article they like, a person with Steem Power can down vote once and wipe out all 20 other upvotes. Hardly democratic and certainly is not supporting "Equality" where one person - one vote counts. They Steem Power model allows people to purchase Steem Power using Bitcoins. The more you purchase, the bigger "King" with more power over others you have. In result, the current model of Steem Power has created mini dictators who have teamed up in mini gangs to control people and content in a bad way. If a Steem Power "King", or "Whale" as they are called does not like a person, or an article, he can knock the article completely off the board. Hardly allowing Free Speech.

So there are many topics, such a politics for example where there is zero free speech. If you do not support Bernie Sanders, then many Whales will come crush you. So again, there is forced sensorship and not true free speech about any topic. Authors are leaving. you can can see this in the frequency and quality of the content.

Nobody should be allowed to downvote anything. Downvoting has created and growing, cyber gangs. If Steemit wants a web site controlled by growing numbers of anarchists who play dictator in cyberworld, then they have achieved it. However, I really do not believe this was their intent at all.

I have studied world history for 30 years as a Gulf War veteran myself. This Steem Power feature is no different than writing an article in Communist North Korea. There are the Government police, in this case these Whales, who will take you out, personally attack you, ruin your Steamit page, plunge your ratings, stalk and harass you at drop of a dime if they do not agree with you. It is the same as the Berkeley nuts thinking that it is their right to end free speech of other if they do not like or agree with what the other person says at a lecture. Si they feel they have the right to beat people up, burn cars and smash in glass windows at businesses.

There are many people in Steemit who outright promote that they are pro-communist and Steemit is a world Marxist Movement. Others post how the platform is controlled by "anarchists". Well, anarchists have no respect for free speech. frankly they have no respect for much or anyone who does not support their cause. This has limited fresh quality content in Steemit.

There are only so many Bitcoin articles a day people want to read. Art, travel and cooking seems to be doing well because these topics do not "offend" the anarchists. However, if a user writes about anything else or writes about what is wrong with the Bitcoin or even Steemit models, that have been attacked over, and over and over again. Last night, I had one whale guys stalking me calling me a "cunt" where if he used his real name, he would have faced criminal charges for cyber stalking. He had lost his mind.

Which brings me to another point. If Steemit really wanted to grow for the long term, it would change its model and force people to register using their real names. Posting investment and cyber coin hype all over the web site under screen names hurts Steemit. I saw this this mistake so many times in the 1990's, where most people in here were not even born yet. Those screen name web sites for content are no longer around today.

Another large problem is that there needs to be abuse and block features like in Facebook. If not, then these anarchists Steem Power gangs who are doing nothing but hyping cyber currencies run off the vast majority of quality authors who do not have the time for such childish attacks. Some, not all, but some of these people have made it clear that they will harass an author until he or she leaves. So as it stands right now, according to the notes sent to me last night, Steemit is a cyber platform controlled by anarchists and nobody else is really welcome. Anarchists are not civil people and without a block and report feature, Steemit has a very high risk of another company establishing a like model as Steemit, but with higher quality control tools so that they can have higher growth in quality authors and content.

One more observation is that every cyber currency pretty much makes people buy Bitcoin then give them your Bitcoin for their currency. This too is a concern. If currencies like Steem are going to stand on their own, then they should be purchased with Bitcoin or with the US. Dollar. In result, there are hundreds of cyber currencies that are propping up Bitcoin. This the recent Bitcoin rally is not artificial to the point where Bitcoin could have a serious crash in the near term. companies like Steemit would be smart to allow investors to also use cash to purchase their currency before this mess happens.

The Steemit founders need to reconsider these powers. If not, it is clear that Steemit has a very high risk of failing with it's currency crashing to 10 cents.

Steemit is making the same 1990's mistakes all over again. In 1998, there were 32 Search Engines. everyone on Wall Street said enough already. Then came this little company called Google in late 1998. History speaks for itself. Steemit is not yet or close to being a Google, but could be. However, without these changes above, it is all a matter of time before Steemit gets crushed by new rivals.

While I completely understand the founders original intent, like all business models they need to modify as to what works and what does not.

You don't say, you understand the intent completely, stop being so sure of yourself for two minutes to study and learn what steem is before you go into the "I know what steem is" you cunt.

The current design of Steem Power is greatly flawed. First, the ability for any person to downvote any article needs to be removed. Can you imagine in a free and open election that a person can vote for one person, then turn around and downvote the opposition? Not only downvote the opposition, but to do that 32 times? Steemit advertises that it's platform is a free market, free speech zone. As a recent new user, this is far from reality.

Obviously you believe that in free speech people aren't allowed to call you a cunt, point out your rhetoric of "I am a stock anal ist, and I've been a cunt for the last 30 years, I even have friends I'll like you to talk to from law enforcement, because cunts do that, because I called you a C U N T on the internet and you cry "cyberbulling" as if you're not a cunt and I am some kind of bully, great fantasy you pathetic victim who believes free speech means people cannot vote against other people, you have one vote per content, you can chose to Up vote CONTENT, or downvote content, because CUNT content exists, depicting all kinds of cunt exemplary acts of being a cunt, like lying, like being a cunt and wanting people to gang up on people, begging people to actually gang up on people, what a fucking funny ass cunt you are, speaking of cyberbully and your response to cyber bullying is the definition of cyber bullying.
You cunt.

I understand your need to point out your opinion of my behavior, especially your grave offense at the sight of my Insult, an insult that makes me in your eyes, immature and a punk, but it is you who's prove to everyone how "reasonable" you are by masquerading behind "omg you're such a bully" when the hypocrite that you are, a living breathing hypocrite cries for people to be bullied.

You also were given advice which you said "that's good advice" only to stomp your foot and say BUT I deal with bullies by bullying them, because I must demonstrate that being the bigger man means resorting to petty threats, typifying and denying your lies and cunt behavior of doomsday prophecy.

You have been explained before how and why a upvote only system is not a good idea, you have disregarded that, and its reasoning two times so far that I am aware of, and resorted to crying about "I know what the steam founders intended (while yelling where's the admins); then taking us on a imaginary ride through voting for people instead of curating content, (you understand that you cunt, curating content is not voting for one candidate and against another, its more like voting for either one of two candidates, one being up and the other being down, one vote for one is a loss for the other". I don't know if you are ignoring the explanation because you are a cunt or believe that in over one year of being around with the numerous users here, you are the first with any sense to say DUH UPVOTES ONLY. Yet you understand the intent of the founders. What a cunt you must be either way, if you ignore it or if you don't understand it you go counter to the intent of the founders, the intent of curating content, and the intent of the consensus of the platform, while proclaiming yourself as "I completely understand". You don't know anything, you're such a dickwad that you were asking hypothetical questions about investing simply to gang up on people and RETALIATE, you're so puny in your investment though that you would be crapped all over, and wouldn't matter in the community as you clearly need some alone time if you believe that people are going to rally together and gang up on your behalf, after you come into the party yelling "it's a bomb!" and everyone calls you a moron/idiot/cunt..

I have over 50,000 followers in my social media and I was asked to join Steemit by friends who hold the currency. I told them to sell it when it was over $2.09 because I was not liking what I was seeing people do in Steemit to each other. It was like America Online (AOL) back in 1996. It was the wild west. We all know how AOL eventually failed and sold out for pennies on the dollar. Or, many users in Steemit may not know this as they were not born yet, so they are repeating the same type of bad business practices and history.

Wow thanks for telling us how great of a person you must be with 500million zillion people following you. You gave investment advice because it reminded you of your learning to computer aol days, while you know so much you'd think the user base and their age range is that of tween.

Two days ago, I decided to test this myself with an article of what i was seeing and the problems. The whales gangs came out as if I was wearing a rolex in a high crime area loaded with gangs on the streets. WOW! The whales took the bait and were hooked where they came to kill....more like killer whales...

What did you test, link us the article mr1milliondollars of followers. I bet you my account that you didn't test shit, besides do people harass and jeer and boo at doomsday prophets? Yeah they do, especially making your self "I know kung fu, 30 years of experience", so yeah, humble yourself before others if you want people to listen to your "it's all going to bust". Post the link, tell us the details, you spend more word equating curating content to an election, which wasn't a correct analogy by a longshot.

I wrote about this over the last few days, and was grossly attacked, stalked, threatened and my Steemit page crushed. The people who did this find it funny. Frankly, their action has merely re-enforced all my concerns about just where Steemit and the value of Steem is really heading from here.

Concerns, you assessed your concerned from the fact that people don't have to let your crap be visible, that doesn't make you any more censored than people telling you "go elsewhere nobody wants to hear you here". You can chose to ignore those people and continue on speaking, granted they have been around, people care what they have to say, they carry influence and could very well be suicide by crowd, I think that's even a thing..

You are weird, you keep equating a network to a server and judging the network by what earlier servers were prone to. Capiche?

What I am seeking is the Steemit gangs teaming up where they vote for each other back and fourth which is not disclosed on the web site about this.

Sure there is instances of this, but I want to know if you can provide any evidence of what you're saying. People vote for themselves and their friends, wow did you guys know this stuff isn't even disclosed?

Thus, it misleads the public where people earning $500 for an article, are not receiving 500 votes at all.

OMG, who would have thought that the estimated value of an article doesn't match up to one dollar per vote, I know kung fu and asked for investment advice (hypothetically) while I had no idea how voting works, and instead draw conclusions based on my misunderstanding, without even realizing the misunderstanding, that the public doesn't realize that one vote doesn't equal one dollar.

Yes, people are making money being paid in Steem.

As opposed to steem being a scam?

The wild card is just how many people are really earning real money in Steemit, as compared to buying Steem with Bitcoins, then voting for yourself and other Whales and they vote for you.

You sound like a veteran of the community, I wonder what do you think the "ratio" is.

Thus some of this activity is like an old fashioned chain letter, in a sense. In this case, the Whales cross vote or feed each other and they are rewarded to become more powerful where the normal author must do as they are now dictated to or they will be attacked and called rude names.

Thus, if that activity happens, they get mad when authors don't do as their told (yes read your remark again you cunt imbecile)

You believe you got called rude names, because whales cross vote each other?

You imbecile.

In America, as call such acts fascism.

Murica, 30 years experience.
100 times on teeeevee

Again, not by everyone in Steemit, but the founders appear to have meant well, but they have lost control to people who are actually ruining what they have created to the point where if not changed, it will eventually fail.

Doomsday prophecy (dramatic music)

Also, people with Steem Power have the ability to downvote an article at ratios as high as 100 to one. I am finding it very common where if 20 people upvote an article they like, a person with Steem Power can down vote once and wipe out all 20 other upvotes.

Yes, people can downvote and even have million dollars (of followers) in their account.

Hardly democratic and certainly is not supporting "Equality" where one person - one vote counts.

Yes, it means that people have an incentive to invest into steem power.

They Steem Power model allows people to purchase Steem Power using Bitcoins. The more you purchase, the bigger "King" with more power over others you have. In result, the current model of Steem Power has created mini dictators who have teamed up in mini gangs to control people and content in a bad way. If a Steem Power "King", or "Whale" as they are called does not like a person, or an article, he can knock the article completely off the board. Hardly allowing Free Speech.

Why, because they spent their voting power and chose not to earn curation rewards for keeping hateful bashing trust eroding doomsday prophecies as not worthy of the rewards? It's designed into steem by the founders, because like it's been explained that is how the community doesn't simply self vote each other, beg follow and beg resteem and beg vote for vote, it frowns on such behavior for a reason, because downvotes are there to negate upvotes, and upvotes are there to negate downvotes, or everyone would drain all their voting power voting for themselves making the highest guaranteed return.

You cunt.

I can call you a cunt, and nobody can stop me, they can hide the content but I can continue to call you a cunt and people can chose to reveal the content and if they like what I said they can even negate the downvote. OR they can follow me even, they can read more of my comments or they might even engage with me, and that is called organic, where as your beg for beg is called systemic, there isn't any room for systemic in here, this is a community, in a community not everyone begs, and begs, for each other, instead people have faith in people that they will act like people and not resort to begging each other for these organic interactions. Also, this is the internet and telling people what to do on the internet, or how friendly you get with the cops, or your maffia conections, will earn you the title of a cunt, if you had not already sought to cry "bullying" to perfectly normal behavior, like a cunt brat spoilt to the rotten core, while lying about the fact that you weren't getting attacked, and wanting people to GANG up(exact WARdage), (o the irony of your gang remarks) didn't already constitute you a class a, 100% pure ground cHunKt. (h and k is silent cunt)

So there are many topics, such a politics for example where there is zero free speech. If you do not support Bernie Sanders, then many Whales will come crush you.
Here you are a cunt again, lying about free speech being at ZERO in politics.

Many whales, you are so wrong, and it's probably because you lie on purpose and not because of misunderstandings, as I've had the honor of being typified as a bernie sanders supporter. The irony.

So again, there is forced sensorship

You're frothing at the mouth with hate right now.

and not true free speech about any topic.

It went from politics for example, to ANY TOPIC, I guess the proof of your lie isn't in the fact that you're still talking, freely. (sarcasmorama)

Authors are leaving. you can can see this in the frequency and quality of the content.

Fear mongering not backed up by facts, dully, still frothing with hate at the mouth.

Nobody should be allowed to downvote anything. Downvoting has created and growing, cyber gangs. If Steemit wants a web site controlled by growing numbers of anarchists who play dictator in cyberworld, then they have achieved it. However, I really do not believe this was their intent at all.

How would you know, you don't sound very sure of yourself cunt.

Some jeopardy, Things people on the internet say:

I have studied world history for 30 years as a Gulf War veteran myself.

What is a cunt?

This Steem Power feature is no different than writing an article in Communist North Korea.

How cunts act?

There are the Government police, in this case these Whales, who will take you out, personally attack you, ruin your Steamit page, plunge your ratings, stalk and harass you at drop of a dime if they do not agree with you.

Cunt swim?

It is the same as the Berkeley nuts thinking that it is their right to end free speech of other if they do not like or agree with what the other person says at a lecture.

Stereotyping for cunts?

Si they feel they have the right to beat people up, burn cars and smash in glass windows at businesses.

Cunt understand steem, must equate and resorts to to cunt behavior such as asking people to gang up and bully others?

It endures!

There are many people in Steemit who outright promote that they are pro-communist and Steemit is a world Marxist Movement.

What is a lying cunt?

Others post how the platform is controlled by "anarchists".

What is a sad cunt?

Well, anarchists have no respect for free speech.

What is a sad sad cunt?

frankly they have no respect for much or anyone who does not support their cause. This has limited fresh quality content in Steemit.

How to lie like a cunt?

There are only so many Bitcoin articles a day people want to read. Art, travel and cooking seems to be doing well because these topics do not "offend" the anarchists. However, if a user writes about anything else or writes about what is wrong with the Bitcoin or even Steemit models, that have been attacked over, and over and over again. Last night, I had one whale guys stalking me calling me a "cunt" where if he used his real name, he would have faced criminal charges for cyber stalking. He had lost his mind.

More lies, I didn't stalk you, you wouldn't stop engaging with me, you liar cunt cunty cunt.

I am not a whale you dumb cunt, thank you for letting me know that you would have sued me you cunt. Petty threats and insults while I call you a cunt aren't excused you cunt. I wouldn't even need to demonstrate why I called you cunt once anyone reads my comments and the comments they were directed at, you can sue my balls you cunt.

Which brings me to another point. If Steemit really wanted to grow for the long term, it would change its model and force people to register using their real names. Posting investment and cyber coin hype all over the web site under screen names hurts Steemit. I saw this this mistake so many times in the 1990's, where most people in here were not even born yet. Those screen name web sites for content are no longer around today.

Yeah, nothing like growth and long term like forcing people to bypass a redundant system prone to redundancy the moment you realize nobody has such a model, and check it out cunt, even facebook is known to be scammed for "verified" information.

Another large problem is that there needs to be abuse and block features like in Facebook. If not, then these anarchists Steem Power gangs who are .....content.

Blah blah blah, musing of a cunt who understands the intention of the founders, the wishes of the community, and thinks I am a whale.

But thank you for your point.

cont.

I threaten you, you cunt!? I never threatened you you cunt! You in fact threatened me, you said that you'd love for me to speak with your "law officer" friends, you threatened others with petty threats of ganging up on them.

I didn't break the "law" you cunt, you keep lying and attacking my character SOLELY because I decided to insult you for your behavior, not because what I said about you spamming, lying and resorting to petty threats and fear mongering articles backed up by nothing but "your 30 years experience", you cunt, you Lied, you sought to gang up on people, those were your words cunt, then you resorted to petty threats saying that you'd tell people that I said So and SO, you cunt.

That's your post, it is about as "good" as shit comes, it's simply fear mongering without even understanding what steem is you cunt idiot.

you then did this:

You threatened that you wouldn't leave the person alone and will spam and you threatened you will harass until you get what you want.

Then you did this:

you called people names, you spammed this message and others on everyone because that's what decent people do, you have cried like a bitch because you want to control what people can and cant do and you have no idea how the platform work, or a community first of all to think that ANYONE would respond positively to your bullshit rally to bully others.

You are a creep, a sociopath, control freak, and the proof is in your threats, your petty threats and your implied threats of hiding behind your pathetic friends who fail to recognize or keep up the game that you're not a total cunt. Then again cunts like other cunts.

@ned can suck my balls, and everyone in the community knows that, if not NEWS FLASH, I will actually resteem this so NED can see it. We don't have ADMINS you moron, and regardless of who tries to flag me or "bully", or "hurts my feelings" me, I won't cry "not free speech" because I'm not a cunt.

It doesn't work that way. You can ask people and they will give you the same answers. He is lying and spamming this everywhere, when he has already been advised how to approach the situation, which he agreed was good advise, and has continued in spite of good advice.

Nobody is flagging his account or "attacking him", he has screamed "doomsday" and people flagged that and similar material, he threatened and threw a bitch fit when the flags weren't removed, and after failing to get people to gang up because he was still flagged, spamming numerous threads with the same comments copy pasted, just like here (go to his comments tab you will see comments in row under different topics and sometimes just blatantly in the same topic like here, spammed, thinking that it's not insulting as fuck to copy paste your crap all over the platform, because that's what we want, is a bunch of cunts running around tag spamming people) keeps crying about flags as bullying when bullying is exactly harassment which is exactly what his call to harass the person that flagged his rightfully flaggable crap of "SELL EVERYTHING STEEM IS CRASH AND BURNING", and do that until the flags are removed, he's a bully by his actions, he is a spoiled rotten child throwing a tantrum, he has a need to hide behind his law buddies and will tell you how much experience he has, all in effort of mystifying your with bullshit on subjects such as steem, where he has little to if any understanding (considering he's trying to rally people to bully others, while very unamerican, it's almost globally unacceptable, so has he any understanding of how people actually people?)

This person over here is giving people advice financially, and then displays an complete lack of understanding of what he's giving people advice on meanwhile he's over here as he is telling new users that steem really works like this, and in case I didn't prove it already I bet him my account above:

still awaiting evidence this was an experiment of his or simply his FUD that got flagged and he cried as if he was actually harmed, by the downvotes.

Someone that gives advice and he doesn't understand the basic principles of anarchism which the anarchist founder laid down, all the way to the fact that this is OPEN SOURCE, but especially in the sense that everyone gets a say, and no admins, when he is suggesting that we remove downvote, despite being told that this will lead to abusive upvoting that cannot be countered, as is evident by game theory, it's a guarantee maximum return for most.

This person is a cunt, completely, drag of humanity, simply based on the lies, bullshit and crap that he has spewed in his hate frothing ovation, and no matter the years of experience or the numerous HUNDREDS of times he's appeared in the media, in spite of all that this person is a cunt crying "no more downvotes because downvotes hurt" "please bully this person for me" and "I can threaten you with my law friends for insulting me". In all sense the only reason someone needs to express their experience is when asked, but he needs to express it so you don't have to question his arguments, or his story, or his bullshit.

If you want to read more about steem I think a good place to start is the FAQ, or the quick start guide.

On a side note-If you must beg people for follow and follow, or vote for vote, I suggest you consider how the community might see that as lame, and maybe even awful, as you can view from the topics that are about this around every corner, and you might not find that kind of spirit in the community of collusion and purely for profit, which will not result in a "expected pleasant experience".

Wooo you're such a big brave man going around asking people to gang stalk others, spamming numerous times the same thing in different threads:

There are so many that those are probably half of them, then you go around asking/spamming:

I never called for anyone to bully or threaten you, but you sure did, you threatened me a few times so far, still are attempting to phish my information in order to retaliate for my opinion of your behavior, which succinctly fits the phrase YOU'RE A CUNT:

You have called people bullies, you have threatened to bully people over and over until they do as you wish:

You are the epitome of how not to act, has the horrible grammar of someone who couldn't care less of what they wrote, not only because they haven't a slight clue what product/service he's giving advice on:

but he also believes that being a bigger man is all about what the bully thinks of you:

the fact that you show zero interest in the community, in as so far to take them as fools that would be lead by your calls to protest:

YOU are abusing the community and I will rally a huge protest against you like you have never seen...you need to grow and leave people alone....and stop your name calling...but maybe being called a THUG will wake your ass up a this is what you are acting like to MANY people in the community...

And then outright cry about people needing to gang up and flag all of @bacchist's stuff, lying and saying he has flagged everything you ever wrote, and he is attacking others, plus the fact that you have a habitual use of ellipsis which indicates an omission demonstrates, in effect to the same function as the fallacy of draw your own conclusion, presenting two word statements "you're such a big brave man" and begging for a conclusion with .... He must be a coward because he would step up. You're the coward, you already hid behind your law officers, you hid behind the lies and constant denial of your lies, lies of lies, and you're a cunt, who would harass others to change, a mini dictator indeed, begging for a protest that you will lead, you look so pathetic in your attempts to rally a mob, in a group of highly critical and deep thinkers, and it's ridiculous to believe you give investment advice when you have the grammar, the diction of a person to match the mentality that you believe you'd lead a group of thinkers anywhere.
