Hi there,
This is a post simply to discuss how we can make steemit great again - what are some feasible options & courses of actions we can take to make steemit back to the way it used to be - people powered.
If you are like me - we are finding hard to make paying posts with most of the voting power coming from bid-bots.
Without them your post - no matter how hard or long you've worked on it - can be left behind and may not receive much of a payout.
- Sometimes we work hours if not days on a high-quality post and post it only to receive a penny comes the payout day.
How can we get our posts out there for people to upvote and like; where we can also receive some steem for our effort?
It seems if you are like me who doesnt use bid-bots - your post can suffer the lack of attention it may deserve and can simply be dust in the wind. (no matter how good it may be)
So lets Discuss This Further - How Can We Make Steemit Great Again?!

How Can we as individuals even go about changing the platform to be as it was in the original days? - people powered.
If we cant change it - how can we add to the platform to enhance its original blueprint?
Do you think steemit has lost something - do you care? Should we? Are my assertions correct? Am I missing something crucial to this subject?
Lets Discuss this Very Important Subject
Without a whale or bidbot your high-quality post may never see its light of day and if a robot finds something it doesnt like about your post - it may down vote your hard worked post - and you watch as your post looses it's steem.
Im sure we have all experienced the unfortunate circumstances of a robot downvoting our content.
It sucks - a robot cold and calculated desides it doesnt like something downvotes it and its many followers also down vote your content and you cant figure out why.

Please comment in the comment section below - your thoughts on this matter - any ideas you have to make the platform better and send them my way even if its just an idea that you arent even sure is possible - who knows- someone may know how to make it happen.

Thanks.

Poor guy below has a robot down vote his comment for some unknown reason. It was a good comment too.
This robot is like a plague, following this person down-voting his work. Why? & Who do you talk to to stop it? (if you can)
...Curious - How does one down-vote anyhow?

Using bots ruins the intrigue.... I want to know if my stuff is good. I tried a few time when I first started, but it wasn't something I continued... And down voting is plain silly. I wouldnt waste my votes. I only vote 100 percent for a few blogs I like or supporting my followers that actually like my stuff.

I see.
How does one increase they're voting power to 100% for example?
Now thats something I would like to know. - I've heard that one can adjust they're voting power but how?

You can scale it down to 1%. But that's silly. I just do 100% on upvotes. Not to often I'll scale it down. Its under settings.

No I dont see it under settings - I heard something awhile back - perhaps its true?
That you need a certain amount of steem power before you can adjust voting strength - is that correct?
If so - How much is required?

Yes that is true.... Ide like to say 200 sp. Or 500. Cant remember. In Esteem you can change it, buts a pain.

lol speaking of bots! - some bot just down voted your comment!!
And it was a good comment too - as it expresses many peoples point of focus.
I know a bit in programming but by knowing what I do I can say - I know nothing.
You need alot of knowledge and expertise to design projects of this sort unless there is an easy to use platform making developmental creations possible & more importantly EASY!

Yeah that is a form of censorship right there.
I had once commented on a whale's post - it was for sponsoring & supporting newcomers to steemit.
I was new so I asked a question - how do I enter my account into this sponsorship program they are having for newbies like me so we can receive some boosting support from them.
I included a link to my introduction post and they down voted me lowering my rank and making my question disappear.
I liked the idea of steemit; a blockchained blogging platform - because its supposed to be censorship resistant - BUT IT SEEMS THATS NOT REALLY THE CASE - now is it?
