Someone really should counter flag this

This is what a successful experiment looks like to @smooth & @berniesanders

When problems happen, this is usually what we look like trying to solve problems.

I don't have an opinion is kinda like this

Flawd Experiment with little to no community involvement.

So my advice to my people!

But to be honest..

To be honest, I was just looking at the trending page aswell and was wondering why not every post with whale votes got downvoted. It should happen to every single person if it's a good experiment.

I'm not against the experiment. I feel it's good to see how things go when voting power is more evenly distributed amongst everyone. It just needs to not exclude anyone.

If you could please spread the word so that we can make this a more even and fair experiment!

Yes, I was just asking about this on another post aswell. I'm really not the most knowledgeable person here about the inner workings of Steemit, the trending page just seemed a bit weird to me during this experiment.

Every one of my posts since this started have been flagged alot !!! The only 1 good post i had that got up to 5.00 dollars was flagged 4 times down to 2.00 dollars just because steem trails upvoted me !!! This is a witch hunt not an experiment and they are just haveing fun flagging everyone they dont like or anyone they want because THEY CAN AND NOBODY CAN STOP THEM!!!

I agree that this experiment hasn't worked out well, because not everyone was on board. If every whale would have stopped voting, things would have been different. Now with all the downvotes going on, it all feels unfair and unreasonable, while it might just give the same effect as we would have had with every whale not voting.

As long as the downvotes happen to everyone with whale votes, I can still respect this experiment. It just did not look like that yesterday.

Yes but some people were flagged way to much !! Their post was like 40. Or 50.00 dollars and downvoted to 2 .00 or less !! They flagged it to much in some instances 2 times would have been enough to be equal to the upvotes by whales ! But they flagged alot of times overboard 3 to 4 times , totally too much so many now are no longer posting , we have worked hard for 8 to 9 months on here and deserve good payouts once in awhile for all that we have invested into this platform , and we are not being appreciated for it ! 👍

The all-knowing whales! I agree this could have been better thought out, but I'm pretty sure none of the downvotes are a personal attack on anyone. I do understand how it can feel that way, though! They have some nasty side effects and downvotes always feel negative.

That does sound unfair and I'm pretty sure that wasn't how it was intended! Maybe the downvoting bot that got set up did not take into account that whale votes can have different percentages.

Yes this could very well be ! But the whales should have been able to know this and take it all into account first ! Thanks !👍😊

To be honest, one of the whale who upvoted that post is one of the whale who are flagging the other post (mine included). It's frustrating.

Please spread the word about this faulty experiment, so we all don't fall prey to shadow experiments!!!!!!!

Lets bring awareness, good or bad we should always be informed and treated fairly!

I'm tempted to join you

This is a clear smack in the face to t he community. They obvisously don't need to be transparent with us? A joke lol. It's time for us to Rise up and if not atleast look at each other and ask:

" Is there anything wrong here? "

Spread the word, and if your willing reach out to me and lets end the shenanigans! Fair Rules for ALL STEEMIANS, not just the elites!

This is one of the best things ive seen in awhile. The laughter kills me...it hurts so much to laugh this hard. Ive been fuming about how this was rolled out. Glad to see you are too. It means you have thought about this rationally.

A downvote was applied to partially counter earlier whale votes as an experiment to reduce whale domination of voting influence. Not intended to express an opinion on the content nor result in a net reduction of rewards or reputation (automated notice)
