<html> <p>Steem is heavily weighted towards the top.</p> <p>More stake, more money goes to you.</p> <p>This is needed in the early life of the platform.</p> <p>If it wasn't this way when the market cap was 17m somebody could have swooped in and bought enough to really matter in the math.</p> <p>Were they to act against the platform's interest there would be little that anybody with less stake could do.</p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmSNEYBrvjsFJssG6fZ4ssXTCM6jKjR3aUSGcM3h6EjuTb/ive-created-a-5a54ef.jpg</p> <p><br></p> <p>Now, as part of that, when whales vote EVERYBODY ELSE'S influence on the reward pool is diminished.</p> <p>Before the hardforks very few people mattered in the math.</p> <p>After the hard forks the top still mattered most, and self voting was in their best interests.</p> <p>As it was before, selfvoting had to take place in teams to really matter.</p> <p>That way, one account couldn't rule the roost without some other accounts colluding to stop it.</p> <p>Ergo,</p> <p>When you beg a whale for a vote, or buy one from one, or team up to be one, you diminish the influence of everybody that doesn't play along in your reindeer games.</p> <p>'So, what?', you say, that is how the world works.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Well, I'm sure you would agree that most of us are here because we don't like 'how the world works'.</p> <p>Yes?</p> <p>We would also be blind to not see that those that like it this way are here among us.</p> <p>If we want to succeed crapitalistically, they help.</p> <p>But if we want to change the way the world works, we have to think from the perspective of the new paradigm.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Are you doing that?</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmRRv4wkBZjbeLidiReDsS6Q7WueHm8bA9nwkuM1i7UuYd/camus.jpg</p> <p><a href="https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/627607609834221583">Have a perfectly peaceful day.</a></p> <p><a href="http://facebook.com/proclaimation">Vote FBA King of the World!</a></p> <p><a href="https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread">Keep working</a>, stop paying.
