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)

Tell me why I should partake in this experiment @abit? This is a great example of someone who deserves an upvote. Craig has been creating good consistent content on Steemit for a long time. I invested in SP to reward content I like and have influence in the platform. Simple.

Maybe this whale experiment could be called WHALEXIT!! (just like Brexit!)

ja kan du sägar varför röster i deta experiment thank

I do foresee steem falling lower due to how groups function.  

It pretty much goes against the idea the platform is suppose to represent by getting all the whales to collude and then punish the ones who doesn't follow them.  Just like everything else here.  How could the value go up? 

@laone spent $250k us back in the summer when it was over a dollar each. >< ouch

I don't want to get involved in this crap.  I am still powering up, still buying steem, staying positive, still writing and posting.  

But - sure.  Let's insult people by downvoting them...  That is exactly what Steemit needs.  The whales need to stop trying to decide the best way to polish and divide up a turd.

All that Bitcoin they cashed out might prevent it from going much lower. Whales head popping over 7cents means more whale bitcoin coming in. Colluding to allow minnows more powerful votes is only upsetting people who trend every single day

You are not alone @craig-grant.  I got the same thing on two posts yesterday.  Destined to be a humble minnow forever I guess.

I been here almost 4 months. I never invested nothing. My post moved me from a (25) to a (61) within that time.

That was a great video update..

I agree that the price will continue down for a while.

Steem on!

The ability to flag for causes other than ethics (ie plagiarism etc ) will remain a major problem for Steemit.   This has been warned about many times.  Steemit needs a system where flags are only for ethical violations and where the actual flagging gets voted on -up or down - by the community at the risk of the reputation of the flagger.

So many good points in this video. People needs to be more patient and also we need to take into account the fact that early adopters had their Steem almost for free.

Thanks man, that made more sense than I have heard on here for a while :)

I burst coin steem! haha
