Why All Of The Whales Hate on @nextgencrypto. A message to all of you whales, good or bad.

in #steemit7 years ago

I think that this really needs to be said, and to be honest, there is so much greed on this platform, it is crazy. And no one dares to stand up and say something about it or speak on the fact that a lot of these whales are just self voting and are just being plain out greedy. Although, not all of the whales/dolphins on this platform are greedy or bad, the majority stay within their own cliques and upvote themselves and their homeboys. Watch, i'm going to get flagged down by a greedy angry whale. Mark my words...lol.

So, I honestly have respect for you, @nextgencrypto. You were willing to call the greedy self voters out and they don't like it. And that's why you've been getting flagged. You've even been deemed "bad for the platform" by the steemit founders. Isn't that crazy....Just by calling out the self voters and speaking the truth.

I honestly think that the system of steemit is rigged and the rich people on here have their won little circle where they vote on each other and make each other more powerful. And when they do vote on someone else, it is very little.

I mean, just look at what this one commenter had to say about the greed:

And look at this whale who keeps commenting on this guy's posts and keeps upvoting himself.

And all of those 15-20 dollar votes on his own comments is the same whale. So selfish and greedy, it's disgusting.

So please don't try to justify all of this greed, because it exists on here. Face it, steemit is filled with rich people who are greedy and everyone kisses up to them and defends them because they want a small piece of the pie. Something needs to be said. The greed it real on here. And the thing is, when you point it out, all you get is hate, and that is what happened to @nextgencrypto.

My last post of complaining about the selfish people on here just got a bunch of mad whales trying to justify their selfish self-voting rampage. Not all whales are like this, but a lot of them jsut upvote each other and give minnows breadcrumbs to they cover themselves and make themselves look good by sparing a 5% upvote to someone with a mildly decent article.

And the thing is, they said that I have expectations of post values or payouts, and heres my replay to that: Hell no I don't! Have you even listened to what I was saying? I never expect my posts to do well, but it is frustrating as hell to see some stripper chinese model get a bunch of money by self voting herself posting about her travel adventures and selfies funded by her steemit boob money. It's disgusting. Cough cough..... @sweetsssj

It is also disgusting when you try your hardest and make consistent and decent content and all you get is pennies, while someone posts a stupid post and gets so much for it. Steemit is so unbalanced. I'm not saying to have expectations, but at least have some standards! Come on!

The wrong people are making the money on here, and that is what I have to say. Cough cough.

The problem is that if someone can do it, they usually will. They need to make it so you can't do it.

Exactly. I think they need to pull the plug on selfvoting. It is causing otherwise good content creators to get too comfortable and push mediocre posts but they pass as being "good" because the illusion of quality the self-vote confers.

Well, no one less self votes than I, but ending self votes would also end being able to move your comment up to the top, which I don't find entirely pointless and contrary to Steemit's purpose.

14-years-old, huh? Kid, I got 50+ years on you ... but I swear, I like your style. So you got my paltry won't-even-register UV. I added you to my Follow-list. And you got my 100% two-thumbs up encouragement to stay brave and grow up strong.

We need you in the new generation. Soldier on. <3

(soldier on: VERB
to persevere despite difficulties or setbacks)

Lemme return the won't even register UV

I don't like the undiplomatic way Bernie sometimes approaches stuff, you know the cursing and name-calling, but I always believed that he got some good reasons for all his flagging wars.

In the end I prefer an honest asshole over some rainbow-puking two-faced pricks.

Yeah it saddens me that people who put a lot of effort into their posts get ignored, but i disagree with the comment about travel vloggers. Yes, some of them are just selling their looks for money but that is only a minority of that community. A lot of those travel vloggers put a lot of effort and detail into their posts and interact with their followers and up-vote their content and comments. All and all this post shows the truth about some whales and i tip my imaginary hat to you sir, for having the courage to call them out knowing well that you will get a lot of unfair down-votes.

I upvoted you because I at first when joining SteemIt saw all of the hatred towards @nextgencrypto and didn't know why. It painted him as some selfish ass hole trying to make SteemIt his. In reality that wasn't true.
I have interacted with him many times within chat and he has even for no reason at all upvoted my material. Simply for me being a good guy, with good intentions, that I think he enjoyed conversing with and saw I had material worth supporting.

There are many whales on SteemIt with good intentions who help the community, but for every good one, there is a greedy bad one. This is natural in any social platform. Atleast here on SteemIt we can as a team defend and stand up for those who we feel personally are in the right with their actions.

I agree with you 100%, never judge a book by a cover. He seems like a decent person. Theres so much greed on here its crazy

Yes he has seemed in my experience to be a good dude. And greed is to be expected where there is monitary gain involved.
I find to get the best experience on SteemIt to not worry about the money. Enjoy the social network and think of any money you get as a tip.
All my earnings go to my SP, I don't plan on withdrawing or leaving the platform anytime soon. As long as there are like minded individuals who strive for a common goal there can be change made for the good.

You have a big set of hairy balls to stand up to the whales like that @alex-icey.! And I must applaud you for that 👏 but is it wise to upset the powers that be? If anything thing you will grab their attention and that is something most here on Steemit can not accomplish. Keep being true to yourself and you will have a clear conscious 😉 well thats how I live my life. Peace out @crypto-expo

"big hairy balls"....lol okay

I believe this to be absolutely true, this community actually means a lot to me (I know I am getting emotional here...) but I do not want to see this website ruined by greed...

Very good post....and you are right, you probably will get creamed by some for this but the facts speak for themselves.

That said, the system is what it is and the only thing we can do is to try and succeed within the parameters. There are a few on here who are willing to help as you rightly pointed out one of them.

Just keep plugging along, add friends, and upvote. Over time, circles form that become more powerful. Does it equate to the whales? Not even close but it does uplift the rest of us.
