<p>Everybody are worrying about the centralization of voting power  on steemit today, more than 90% of the active voting power are in the hands of 117 whales, 253 dolphins share 6% of the voting power, the total voting power of 5726 active users is less than 1%,see the picture below: </p>

<p>Time is precious , whales only have limit time to read a few posts and curate, some of the whales like @wang are using robots to vote the top authors only, most of the good posts were ignored, top authors are happy, but most of other authors are disappointed.</p>
<p>@dan posted about <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@dantheman/people-rank-using-page-rank-algorithm-for-better-curation-and-rewards">people rank</a>, even thought about remove the curation rewards completely , @smooth thought it won't work, because whales will accept bribe to vote,  @xiaohui and i talked about this a few days ago, and we thought maybe use robot to follow good curators will work, so we are working on our robot experiment recently.</p>
<p>I talked about this with @isteemit yesterday, and i invited him to join our experiment, so i added his user name to the follow list.  I will give you an example to explain how it works, this morning,  @norbu posted this <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@norbu/introducing-steemit-to-nepal-the-first-ever-steemit-meetup-in-kathmandu-13th-aug-2016-steemit-on-top-of-the-world-literally">Introducing Steemit to Nepal: The First Ever Steemit Meetup in Kathmandu 13th Aug. 2016. Steemit on Top of the World, Literally!!</a></p>

<p>he is not in the top author list, so @wang 's robot didn't vote for him, @smooth 's robot didn't vote for him as well, all of the other robots didn't vote for him, but @isteemit voted for him, because he is living in Nepal and he followed @norbu, after a few seconds, my robot voted for this post, because @isteemit is in the follow list, one hour later, a few whales noticed this post, voted, and 4 hours later, @dantheman voted it. No other robots voted it, most of the robots voting the top authors only. </p>
<p>Today, i added another good curator to my follow list, he is @nanzo-scoop , i found out he spend a lot of time reading posts, and wrote two articles about how to vote:</p>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/curating/@nanzo-scoop/curating-for-profit-tip-1-make-your-objectives-smart">Curating for Profit - Tip #1: Make your objectives SMART!</a></p>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/curating/@nanzo-scoop/curating-for-profit-tip-2-don-t-vote-on-posts-that-have-been-whale-bombed">Curating for Profit - Tip #2: Don't vote on posts that have been "WHALE BOMBED!"</a></p>
Our community needs those good curators to identify good contents, otherwise, authors will leave, readers will leave too.
