RE: Cryptid Hunter Curator Week 2 Report – August
The use of booming02 makes me extremely sad. I suspect I am not alone in this.
Over 50% of votes since 1st August are concentrated to 10 users. Presumably the users that the game profits from most (I've made my feelings on this clear already and don't want to detract from the point of my comment).
These 10 users being supported have a combined Steem Power of 1,841,499.490 at the time of writing. Of this 1.8m+ SP, 1,787,639.173 is delegated to voting services - 97%.
In addition to this, the sort of content being voted on is actively encouraging others to do the same:
I always thought that the booming and steemcurator accounts were designed for a greater purpose. Designed to help the community. Help the community to grow and to thrive in a self-sustainable manner. Which is why @chriddi, @moecki and I found the role of steemcurator so difficult. A difficulty that I know you sympathise with.
To see a booming account used in this way... to help those already selfishly profiteering... to profiteer further because it helps the user with the keys selfishly profit... just fills me with sadness. Sadness that I am finding extremely difficult to articulate. Sadness that I know is felt by others.
The sadness that increases the feeling that I do not belong here.
I can't even think of an appropriate meme so this will have to do...
I will keep these records again to show them every week, and to visualize the management of the Booming and Steemcurator03 accounts, which are those with the greatest voting power.
