off topic - but did you see the down voting of michelle gent? -by transisto( I think), or something - get this part - because he didn't agree with how she was posting her original content./rewards for material.
Very worrying turn of events..
Relevant to you, my friend, more than myself.
(for now, at least..)
nope..didn't see it.
it's his right to do so.
it's also everyone else's right to flag him to oblivion.
Ned did that to Bernie Sanders I understand..

it his is right in this setup.
This setup is fundamentally flawed, i am starting to think.
This was the bernie sanders deal, fighting the bots.
This has nothing to do with bots.
This is because he didn't think the content was worth it.
This is not a free market system (there is no negative voting in free market systems, only affirmative voting, by action/purchase).
There is no incentive to create original content - or attracting new members - if the negative feedback is at the whim of another individual, at any time...
Unfortunately, I think this site is doomed to bots upvoting - just a mining site - not original content creation.
Very disillusioned, and sad.
On the upside, it assuages my negative feeling of posting shite, and botting/gaming the hell out of it!)

parasites left unchecked kill the host...every time.

totally agree with you.
I want to start my new project -, but really not sure anymore. - not until I see the direction it's going on here.
If it doomed to parasite mining - it makes logical sense to game it and take/build profits.
That's depressing...

Heinlein said "sure the game is rigged..but if you don't play you can't win".
so far I'm winning.
I've invested nothing but my time doing exactly what I'd be doing other wise (harassing snowflakes on Facebook) ...but here I get paid.
I'm milking it while it lasts.

Make hay while the sun shines.
Strike while the iron is hot.
and like that.
so far I've paid several month's rent.
bought my boat.
bought tools and materials.
booze, ceegars and beer.
it's all good.
If Steem crashes tomorow..I'm still ahead.
Furthermore...right now Steem is $.90...and it's hung at 'about' that for a good while.
I hung with steem when it was a nickel...ninety cents is GREAT.

Yup. - Although my problem with converting anything into tangible money is a problem (at the moment) - forces me to accrue, I suppose! lol.
If I get my thousands, can I send you some lite coin to convert, and paypal it to me once its in your account ? lol

I think that was @dan, not @ned.
It would take tens of thousands of Steemers to flag @transisto down much, unless some other of the big wheels took up the cause.
Ain't no way tens of thousands of minnows are gonna do that.
