@berniesanders Yes...this is a bit strange. I think that we can all learn from another and also improve things, if they're not as effected or one sided! Lets all work for a better Steemit! I have also seen some strange moves that make the community pool swing one way. This is a place where we should be able to speak the truth and not be afraid of getting unfairly flagged.
PEOPLE take a look at the detais! Is sometimes odd to see a new comer have a great reputation right of the back, with little to no content... not to mention having an effortless growth in the community. I personally have had my highs and lows here. There's times where I dedicate a lot of planning on content gathering; just to get emotionally crushed by the payout. But that is life, and I'm ok with it. But lets not get crushed by the preferences some people have here with the advantages. Life is not fair but lets not be suckers either. Best wishes to all.
