RE: That day I got a downvote and turned into a crazy maniac
If you don't like it, fork it out of the code. Make it so that all votes are equal regardless of your investment.
Because that has anything what so ever to the question regarding what you perceive as A Utility from Steem.
I'm not saying it is sustainable, but this is what Steem is, it's how they coded it. In order to give their token a market value, they had to give it a utility and that utility was you can draw more rewards if you own more Steem.
False. Owning Steem doesn't draw you any, ANY rewards. Locking up your Steem does.
Good point. A utility is a state or quality of being useful. The only reason I can think of for investing in Steem is the bigger upvote, that would be it's utility to me. A bigger upvote allows you to reward yourself more. It used to be right next to the publish button, there was an upvote post button to save you the extra step of upvoting it after you published.
True, but yeah powering-up is the next logical step to get there. Powered-up Steem has merit because it takes longer for it to go back to the market. Now if you show someone with powered up Steem that you won't respect the merit of their upvotes, it gives them good reason to dump their stake to the market which drives prices down.
Because downvoting is "showing someone with powered up Steem that you don't respect their vote". No. That's your lonesome narrative, and if someone thinks so and acts as per your narrative I'll be the first to show them the door and suggest that if they perceive such things as disrespect then it's wiser to avoid the reality of not everyone valuing what they do and scurry fast from the internet, before they are irreparably damaged by what others rate them as.
Yeah, I've seen you tell large stakeholders to fuck off in more or less words, and you've got very little invested here. So, I'm sure you don't care whether they dump to the market or not. In the end when it's downvote happy whales holding the bag and nobody else cares to buy in because they've soured people to the experience, than I guess it's tough titties for them when the musics over.
And I will gladly tell them to fuck off again and again, but you probably think that I should appease some dipshit idiot that invested with hopes of extracting wealth one self vote at a time instead of confronting their short sighted idiocy head on.
O yeah, what does it matter anyway, you think my wallet is indicative of how much I have invested here.
I may not be heavily invested but I'm certainly not chasing away stakeholders with negative voting. Don't worry, you'll figure it out when Steem drops below a penny, that communism/socialism fails yet again. It's never going to work dude; never. gonna. happen. What it matters is, it doesn't matter how many people you shoo away from the platform or scare to the market, you're not going to take a substantial hit.
Yeah, rating things negatively is socialism. Fucking dipshit faggot idiots.
Reward redistribution is socialism.
Sure it is, because why not. Fag claims that distributing rewards is socialism. Tell me, are the rewards redistributed even though nobody had even received their rewards aka they are still being voted on/distributed? Whack ass faggot, doesn't believe in downvoting even though it was always present, years later still shows up and crises "socialism" and "it'll never work". You faggot must have missed the immense flagging that boosted the price to 20x what it was, it was called The Whale Experiment.
#downvoted-investors-unite
No such utility exists or existed, not unless you are immune to downvoting..
Point is the first interface added reward disputes after they realized their wasn't shit they could do to get people from abusing the flag tool. Since then, they've slowly been trying to manipulate the behavior of users into one of your communist dystopias. People going to hate it, nobody's going to buy Steem now. Sell me on a reason to buy Steem.
That's not why 8 months after steam first launched and some 16 hf later that "dispute over rewards" was added as an explicit reason to downvote. It was to dispel any nonsense that downvoting was not to be used over disagreement with rewards and at the time it was changed because Dan had been flagging ozcharts and explicitly stating that it was over disagreement with rewards. You can make up whatever narrative makes you feel better though and you can think I or anyone else owes you a reason to buy steem but tough tittees, i don't give a fuck about selling you on steem, heck, gimme one fucking reason why you are on here if you truly think such batshit crazy crap about the development, and I quote:
"Since then, they've slowly been trying to manipulate the behavior of users into one of your communist dystopias. People going to hate it, nobody's going to buy Steem now."
Fuck out of here with your FUD. This is where you want to be when Jebuz comes back? Spreading fud.
Creating an acronym from a few words, doesn't nullify their merit.
Now, that's just hand waving.
What are you talking about? You think your FUD merits anything but ridicule huh? You think it's not FUD to claim that steemit is trying to manipulate the behaviour of users to create a communist thing or whatever you whack ass idiot faggot?
(A.) Your attempt at insult means nothing to me.
(B.) My FUD has transformith itself to CAT
Courage, Assuredness, Talkative.
Magical right, I made an acronym. I guess that means
you should stop the HODL and sell, because acronym.
How cute, so you weren't expressing Fear Uncertainty and Doubt and focusing exclusively on that, in other words, it's courageous to accuse steemit of 'manipulating' users. It's Assuredness to claim that the only reason to invest is to extract wealth and it's also Assuredness to beg me to give you a reason to buy steam, and calling a function that has been present from the inception "communist mentality" is being talkative right, certainly not FUD.
Fucking tool.
