>Misterdelgation delegation to steemclearner is mostly being use to flag post reward that are taking from the reward pool and those rewards are return to the pool.

Yes, I get that, and it is hard to complain about.

I still think that something needs to be devised to give bounties on spam and copy pasta rather than taking from the already too small pool meant for authors.
Making a pool for steemcleaner bounties would reduce the reward pool in proportion, but instead of relying on votes to get paid we compete for the bounties.

I am just here to beat my 'reject rule by force' drum, the money is a bonus.

I don't think they are intentionally trying to tank the platform, but neither are they doing their best to spread the love enough to interest a larger crowd.
I think they are content to vote their friends and sockpuppets as long as the community lets them.
The community will need to step up and denounce behaviors that feed the few at the cost of the many.

Is there any question that vote selling is harming the quality of the content and lower the author rewards that go to creators that create content with actual value to the platform?

>The Steem are being distributed according to the will of the stakeholders.

Yep, and those with the most are favoring their friends/workers over 'good' content creators.

But it IS theirs to do with as they please, just as I get to voice an opinion about it.

And it is my opinion that when a sizable chunk of the sp that gets voted is in the hands of insular people, folks who only vote friends/sycophants, those not approved by that 40% suffer.

I got no problem with folks voting their sp, I do have a problem with folks gaming the system to reward their friends, or punish those they disagree with. @skeptic @technocomanche

@statsmonkey puts out good content, but he can't get any love from tptb.
