Censorship is impossible in a Free Society

Yeah, I know, but I wanted to do it to prove my point. That the reputation system is unbalanced in favor of the whales. One downvote dropped my reputation from 40 to 9, that seems a little bit too extreme to me. Plus I don't know why it got downvoted. Was it because he thought I was a bot? Because he didn't like it? A downvote should have an explanation.

Of course it's imbalanced in favour of the whales!

It's supposed to be!

They have a higher stake than you! That's how it is. If I put more time and money into piano lessons than you is it unfair that my piano skills are favoured better than yours??

Here is another post of dans about future plans for making it somewhat more democratic. In the future, if I consider you a friend, I may be able to lend you some of my piano skills (sort of)

Frankly if a noob were to do what you just did I trust that dan would warn them not to do it again, or perhaps start putting it into the end of his post as a warning of what you should not comment with. But you knew what would happen and you're making a very small fish of yourself over it.

Just shows there's room for improvement.

just because you spent years honing your craft you cant expect to compete with someone that drops 10k down on lessons for 3 days. of corse they are going to get more money for playing the same song.
this place has not got any better, the shit show is just hidden better now.

I got sent here from someone flagging me as why there is no censorship on steemit.
smfh
see you here so had to say hi.
:D
so yeah hi!

I posted here more than a year ago. I guess time is relative

LOL
Reading the comments on this post let alone the post it self is so fuqin cringe. it was nice to see a sain person amoungst the rest.
xD

Actually I believe that its more balanced right now, because if whales did not had that much power then some "bad" users would create multiple accounts and downvote everyone, the only solution would be for the "good" guys to create even more "good accounts" in order to battle the bad guys. The way the system works right now the bad guys are powerless because the whales hold most of the power and most of the time they have the incentive to "play nice". 1 usser = 1 vote would be a dissaster!
