LMAO @ the tags, hilarious:
evil whales drain reward-pool
Simple message. None of them seem to get it, they keep defending their actions but never address the fundamental crux of the issue... they vote for the same people and funnel/siphon the rewards to these accounts, their "friends", for the most part, and everyone else gets the left overs... This is a calling-out of their behavior. They need to engage in more personal responsibility as power-players and curate more responsibility all of the content on Steemit, not just their 60+ rep lists for their bots to auto upvote, or whatever. If they don't correct and fix this themselves by facing the mirror and listening to the community, they will end up losing in the long term. No amount of flagging to silence the issue will work. Voices will continue to speak and be heard.
I would stop using the "sock puppet" terminology though, it seems to imply these other accounts and people don't exist, which I think they do.
Take care. Peace.
The system was designed for the whales to drain ALL the reward pools. Every single thing in this ecosystem is exponentially tilted towards 50 people. It's about as deliberate and honorable as mugging a random person on the street.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
