I am all for working on the voting allocation, and I understand what he was trying to do. From the end user's point of view, it was a bad idea. If he felt it was necessary he could have announced it first. He could have set some real criteria. He can use his stake how he wants, and flagging is just downvoting... blah, blah. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. If SteemIt is at all interested in building a happy user-base, they really need to consult with some people who care more about people than technology. People who understand human nature and all of that.

I agree 100% it should have been announced first. The goal is for him not to have to downvote though. It is basically up to the other whales to decide if they want to 'play along' with the experiment.

Sorry Tim, I respect you greatly. He didn't let the other whales decide. He decided.

There was a lot of conversation in private slack and other channels with the other whales. Not everyone was contacted though, which is an issue. There are a lot more whales involved than just @abit though. [Edit] I am not 100% sure on this, but I believe more than 50% of the whales are participating.
