another 3 months of downvoting started it seems

because charts make money :) and there is only so much to go around. Still I think the fault is in the botvoers that mine the articles and don't read squat.

The author ozchartart lost all his post earnings for the last few posts because one person with 7 million STEEM POWER downvoted all his posts.

downvoting should combat the above mentioned. But people like gains and vote on same old same old, the big players can't handle everything and that is why we have bots, delegation is the solution, but they like bots it seems more than people doing the same thing, voting.

Seems like there is a whale group supporting oz (Bernie and his crew) and @freedom who doesn't like it. Both groups are using their shares to distribute reward pool as they see fit.

Also as community we need to start being more critical about post rewards. This is pointed to both authors and curators. Both parties at the moment seem to be increasingly happier as post rewards grow. As Steem gains in value, extra rewards seem to distribute vertically rather than horizontally - meaning select few will rake in thousands or even more.  Is this the wisdom of crowd? Can WE do better? And if we can't, how will the Steemit look within few years? 

Only once have I seen author voice their concern of possibly getting too much rewards here and he is one of the greatest contributors of value here. Funny how that works. If only we   we could start including more people to our little inner circles, this is social platform after all.

below which is a good thing, politics here is bullshit, everybody dos whatever they like then say well it's the system that does it :D bernie likes to annoy other whales he had an axe to grind with dan, grinded some with krnel, it seems hes bored so he likes drama from time to time, anyways any group seems to betray trust sooner or later :D

dunno why oz is complaining, he took the beating from dan and he has a great payout  (most days) :D well he's an ok guy after all it's shit to get trashed. But somebody else will get the 500 bucks anyway so nothing is lost

What do you mean?

Are you consensus?
