RE: Why I am negative to "WhaleShares" and believe it will be another "RewardPool-RAPE" for #STEEM.

Cheers @fyrstikken. Just came across whaleshares and found your video so am very glad to see someone laying it out very simply. Thanks for trying to keep this place honest! It is surely a difficult task!

Hope your day is going well!

Thank you so much @fyrstikken for upvoting my comment. It is very much appreciated however I am very new here and not exactly the most up to date in terms of how the whole thing works but on intitial impressions I am uncomfortable with some of the things that are going on and I feel that there are a few at the top with all of the power just as in the real world. This troubles me. I don't know much about you other than what you have written in this post and speaking in your video but clearly you seem to have a bit of influence around here and whilst I appreciate that you may be using that power for good, the fact that you have this power is still an issue for me. I know that I am just a 'minnow' in this place but I feel that if I decide to become a member of a community such as steemit then I should have just as much say in how that community conducts itself as anyone else. I appreciate that some people have been here since the beginning which is why they have been able to gain so much power but the fact that they were here at the beginning gave them the opportunity to build their following before newer users and this should be reward enough I think. As far as those investing in the platfrom I understand that they do so to make a return on their investment but short term and long term investments require different stategies and a fairer, more equal voting and reward system to my mind would attract a steadier stream of new users and be a better long term strategy.

This comment is not given with the intention of recieving an upvote my friend , I am more concerned with the platform becoming a fair and level playing field for all and as a new member it is in my interest for steemit to grow also.

Perhaps my expectations are too high with so much profit to be made but this platform could be something really special i feel as long as we are willing to fight for it because if we do not it will surely go the same way as all of the rest that came before.

I would love to know what your thoughts are.

Thanks again!

Just a pleasure. Come join us on Discord 24/7 at http://steemspeak.com I spend at least 17 hours a day there. Sounds like we could talk for hours :D

I have already joined via the link on your page but on arrival I was intinidated by how technical it looked. :) I had initially intended to respond to you there but changed my mind. I will try to work out how things work later and look forward to speaking to you in future.

Hope your day is going well!

discord is very easy. You can even find the app on your phones app store.
