WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE GIVEN A WHALEPOWER FOR A SHORT PERIOD?

With great power comes great responsibilities......

DC and MARVEL Superheroes Mashup

That might seem like a superhero slogan, but there is no real life DC or MARVEL Superheroes in Existence, never the less; We actually do not need "capes nor masks" before this principle slated above applies to us. In all that we do, how we relate and treat our immediate neighbors; we could all be Heroes in our own little ways!

Many see Steemit as a competition- "Get Rich before he or she does". Some see it as Hobby, some as an alternative way of earning a living and to many; it is there only source of income. All these group of people have their goals and Game-plans, which outrightly bring us to the point of looking at individuals if granted A Super Power- Whale power say for a week, with different habits and mindset, how do you intend to maximize this immense opportunity given to you?

UPVOTE

Are you among the bad of merry self Upvoters? Who upvotes every single comment the make without upvoting others post? Or are you among those people looking for upvotes in your comments but never upvote the parent post you commented on? Maybe you are one of those always giving your posts and comments full upvotes and feeling happy about it?

Another sets are the ones who never reads contents nor check the authors work, does a couple of random Upvote kills an individual steemit career? Because i have seen people who never upvoted nobody's work and they keep posting and keeps getting supports from other users. Ask yourself this: if everyone is holding on to their votes, will you enjoy posting anymore day in day out?

DOWNVOTE

Here is another shocker, are you in the category of people who downvotes posts/comments out of spite? Even if the author never meant any harm towards you, but you derive pleasure in hurting people and their hardwork. Truth be told, there are thousands who deserves a healthy Downvote.... but what about the innocent ones? If given a Whalepower is that gonna be your cue?

FLAGGING

To all minnows and newbies, as much as there are many reasons for flagging a post, some with very good cause and some just happy flaggers. I have seen where some users just flags a comment and posts with no apparent reasons. If an individual has never violated any rule, is there a need for flagging? Generally, the answer is No.

EQUILI-VOTE

This is a word i made up out of Equilibrium and Voting. This is are no upvote, no downvote and no comments users, and i wonder how such people enjoy the Steemit eco-system with such strange habit. Can an unused Upvote or Downvote be converted to Steempower or SBD? i will love to get an answer to that.

POWER DOWN

If give power for a short period of time, are you going to support hardworking bloggers or you start powering down so that you could bail with your bounty? That sounds far-fetched but trust me, you have no idea what some folks are brain-storming about.

New Users-Newbies-Freshers all falls in the Minnow group, this are imaginary and real Steemit Scenarios, in my fantasy mode; i wonder what having Whalepowers for a short while feels like and the kind of impact i will make on people and not just my buddies, people who works hard in their tiny little ways and who needs befitting Rewards.

How i wish such experiments is carried out more randomly(i happened to have won a contest in the past by @htooms and given a similar power), let us see the true nature of the ones we call friends here on Steemit!

UPVOTE, RESTEEM, FOLLOW AND DROP A COMMENT BELOW.....It's your friendly Neighbor @oluwoleolaide for Steem-Lagos-Nigeria-Africa-World!


Sort:  

I would upvote anything with nudity or sex until SP hit zero. Steemit needs an XXX section asap. Will make this whole thing explode and will be so healthy for sex workers - no more exploitation, get paid directly.

😆😆😆😆😆😅😅😅😅

That is another dimension to look at it..

@oluwoleolaide....this article is apt and very thought provoking. Some successful steemians are abusing the social ethos under which steemit was founded. To such group, they have minimum reputation score level they curate...and i think this is bad for the community. A lot of new steemians are being discouraged by such stances.

People...both steemit veterans and newbies...should approach steemit program the right way and stop being selfish. They must appraise articles based on originality, content, and other parameters and curate accordingly on basis if merit...for without newbies, there won't be veterans

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece. I'm @eurogee

....for without newbies, there won't be veterans

what a wise sentence mate...

Very thought provocative mate, nobody should read this and get mad!

Did i read something like "think like a whale, then act like one" weeks ago? So that's what i do, upvote those i think deserving. I don't know what else whales do.

Lol, i like that...

Thanks for checking up my post @immarojas....

hi
it;s great you are touch all the points about steemit related .
Excellent post.

Hello @oluwoleolaide, that's really a great post you made! Even without whalepower, I spend my whole day checking my home feed and vote for best post everyday; well my vote does not have a big impact but still i love sharing whatever I have!
If I have whalepower for a week , for sure I will help all those minnows who are not getting noticed at all!
Thank you again for this!
@progressivechef

Ask @beanz. She was made an Orca for a month by @smooth in exchange for 200 Steem.

I guess one thing that's different for short term whales is that you're not going to have the power to defend yourself afterwards if you cause trouble...

hahahaha...

Wow, that's what i thought, cos some might have cause a lot of atrocities which will come back to bite them in their butt once the power is gone...

Thanks for the input @demotruk, you are an inspiration

I would just find the best posts and upvote - so many great post that do not get their fair share or lets say not being seen by enough. I do not understand these people just going around with negativity and flagging and just not showing compassion and letting the sun shine over everybody in the steemit community

You have a kind heart, i see a Gentle and kind whale before me dear friend!

Agh thank you - I guess that is the teacher in me - I believe we all have something to offer - some better than others, but nobody deserves to be left out or feel bad about themselves

Very true my dear friend

Upvoting great content with 100% vote weight.
And not on the trending page posts for sure.
We need to give others an opportunity and much needed votes if they are worthy of it.

And it's wont cost me even a cent, so why not freely give? :)

Exactly mate, it cost nothing to give a healthy good upvote...

Indeed brotha. Makes the Steemit community a better place. Rather than wasting the time downvoting right? ;)

Hi friend, I am just three months old baby in steemit world. I come to know about this community from rahul.stan,before that I even didn't heard the name of it. I come here only to engage myself in a positive and productive field. I love to write poetry, articles etc. If I am able to recognize myself and can earn money, why not I choose it. Here I want look myself in a very respectful position ,It is only possible by sharing and supporting each other. If I will get the supper power, really I can't use it properly. For me your support and love, is enough. Thanks for the valuable information about our community. If you don't mind please give a visit on my post too,thats all. Have a good day.

Following and visited your page dear @maya7
