RE: 😨 Are You Scared Of UPVU Yet?
World of Xpilar and the whole team have worked hard to build our community and Steemit to get where we are today.
I am a user of the upvu service, but I use it to the advantage of increasing my SP and it gives me an opportunity to give more upvote to our users. I have 262K SP and of those I have delegated 146K to upvu
For now, I see my delegation as right to be able to increase my SP
and take out a little for myself and pay for the expenses I have with server rental and the apps we have on steem.
But such services should never be here if they can not run a blacklist and follow it up when it comes to abuse
Another thing is that it should only be allowed to use 50% of its SP for such services as for example for upvu
The other 50% you must use to vote for someone other than yourself
As of today, that's 31,000,000 Steem Power potentially proxied to UPVU to choose Steemit's witnesses and therefore the sole decision maker on the future of this platform. No more xpilar, no more steemchiller, etc. - just UPVU.
Yes, you may be right, maybe everyone who has fought for this platform will come up with something new
I was very happy a few days ago when our witness "xpilar.witness" came among the top 20 witnesses (19th place)
But then came proxied to UPVU and everything changed after a few hours yesterday
As you can see now, "xpilar.witness" is in 23rd place
We have received many votes from the community recently which made us move up to the top 20 witnesses
What is happening now is a robbery from all those who believe in us and voted us on the list and now see that their votes had little significance to be able to place us among the 20 best witnesses
Yes, our witness is back 👍
many big voices came in the last few days
I had you in mind when I was writing this post as you're one of the few who balance both sides of the equation.
In general, the investor side is increasingly outweighing the blogging side which might be OK for STEEM but not good for Steemit. It's starting to feel like STEEM and Steemit are dividing into "Investor" and "Blogger" whereas when I joined, they were dependant upon each other. I'm not so sure that they are now 🤔
I had a very quick look into this and didn't see anything unusual - those in the 17-20 spots received some new upvotes but the same people upvoted you (they appeared to just be upvoting the top 30 witnesses). I wonder if users who support you have powered-down and reduced your support. I don't know if this kind of information is available to look into though.
There are lots of options that could "save" the blogging element of Steemit. I certainly feel that something is needed to change the current direction. I just don't know what is required for an idea like this to progress.
Hola @xpilar, apenas y puedo entender de lo que hablan sinceramente, pero imagino que son modalidades para interactuar dentro de la plataforma, cómo si eres inversionista, accionista o empleado, algo así??, que pena pero aún no comprendo.
