I understand your point, just dont think you need such a gruesome image to star this off with:|
Edit : thank you <3 upvoted ;)

When you gain reputation from the community you also get SP. So it already works that way, sort of.

But removing voting power from whales will completely change how STEEM works (and might make it probe to various forms of abuse), so it might be better to start a separate blockchain/web site for that.

understood nothing. but I supported you

It's still too early to make conclusion, but I think Steem develops in positive direction. I'm only third week here, seen plenty positive changes, fast reaction to new threats. Whales are important part of the ecosystem, killing them you devastate all chain.

I agree that a change is needed but it should not be too extreme.  Also I believe the reputation system is heavily influenced by SP.

I am happy with the pace of improvement and change, and I just hope that the changes continue, because as you said, we have problems

Agree theres a potential issue, I don't agree with  your solution though.

Why can't you enjoy the platform as it is ? Either way changes are constantly made, based on  what the users need and want...however i am pretty sure that there will be someone always complaining about something.

Even upvotes gained in comments or blog posts could be fake as well. See [https://steemd.com/steemitlove](https://steemd.com/@steemitlove) for instance. He seems to write bots to upvote himself. Now, his reputation grows at the speed of a rocket.

I suspect reputation can be gamed easier than SP.

The whole system is biased from the start. By inviting useless users who want to make a quick buck first instead of the smartest people in the world (univ teachers, professionals in every field, univ students, etc).

Money is flowing to the wrong people, Power too. Instead of a platform that should be creating value to the world we have a platform full of users trying to extract money from it.

In the long run i believe the whole platform and steem will collapse, because you can't sustain such withdraws of wealth forever if you don't actually create real value. Less than 1% of the posts created on steemit are worth something. The rest is not valuable.

I believe that's why the whales are all powering down, because they smell blood : http://steemdown.com/

看来帮主想来个灭鲸行动啊

Steemit is in its early stage and there are only few users with an huge amount of SP (you call them whales). You say the system should be changed from SP to reputation power. Let me tell you why this is a bad idea. Right know we have a hand full of curators who can give you a nice amount of dollars and you think it's unfair. But guess why? Because Steemit hasn't even developed now! In few months those with little SP will have more and so they can give others more power. It's just a matter of time. Steemit as it exists now will change. To the better. Don't be afraid of changes

In strongly agree with you.  
Low steem power owner like us struggling too much , we have post very good post content try to be so creative ,but nobody care .
This **whales circle jerks** seems a little bit unfair.

赞同，唯一且只有个一种方式成全鲸鱼，显得有些武断。能通过多种方式成为鲸鱼,更人性化。

Why should someone an early adopter or whale who most likely invested in this platform early and assumed the most risk be punished? I can understand some new users frustration but the platform has three ways to reward you.

One concern I do have is what happened to Digg.com. Digg was the premier link aggregator before Reddit took over. Power users were able to manipulate the system so that only content they approved of reached the front page. It got so bad before the end, companies were paying these powerful users to promote their products. It ended badly. The userbase jumped ship and Digg dies almost overnight.

Reddit is also having these kinds of problems now but they are a bit different. Brigading is an issue but even more concerning is that company admins are actively censoring content that they don't like. They even went so far as to mess with the site algorithm to keep political or social content out of r/all that they find distasteful.

Top,  不顶@dan看不到

There may be other ways to redistribute steem wealth. Rather than repeating my arguments, I'd like to refer you to [my thoughts on the topic](https://steemit.com/steem/@orly/how-to-fix-the-extreme-inequality-on-steem) if you haven't seen it already.

But it seems to be that the system is simply not set up with equality and distributed community power in mind. Or at least, the initial conditions heavily favor the 'steem wealthy' and they are having a hard time distributing power fairly.

That is actually an awesome idea.  I doubt they will change it like that but it would actually make things fairer and speed up distribution.  I suspect a lot of minnows and small accounts just give up quite early.

希望大鲸鱼们都能看到。

wow! Thought you were actually talking about real whales! lol and it made me sad! but it wasn't! I just also posted a recipe on Russian Blini :) Let me know what you think :) Alla x
