wait I am just amazed at how FAST they did this change!

I want to purchase so much steempower that I can actually run multiple witness nodes untill I have more witneses than anyone else and I want to take full control over steemit, and then hand it over to an AI that will be just and righteous

I am 100 percent confident that with a team of top people and philosophers I can actually maintain perfect equilibrium and grow steemit larger than any social media website

and I will go and look at every fued and I will create a tribunal where we invite all of steemit to give their opinion and see what the community ants...and if the community is wrong i will tell them! How can i be that arrogant? The AI will tell me if the community is wrong!

democracy is not the best thing, republicanism is the best! representative government is the answer, we cant just have a mob rule, look at the democratic party in thee United States...if it wasnt for us standing up and infowars and alex jones and alll the patriotic Americans standing up, the cultual marxists on the left would have taken over already!
they have numbers but the numbers are declining! peopel are waking up to their own best self interest

The alt right doesnt want to dominate anyone....but when u declare war on someone and their homeland and a wholepeople as a whole you will end up getting hit back hard! i have no idea why anyone would ever think they could defeat "White Male capitslsis" when we won ww2 and coneuered fortress europe!
people say the Nazis were so evil and so powerful....well then us Americans (and Russians) must e even MORE powerful and vicious if we coul conquer the grat monster, that mkes us an even greater monster! Not a bad thing, its beautful that we won ww2

and this IS a world war! this is world war 4 (ww3 was the cold war!) and its not a physical war its a fucking info war and genetic war

anyway i would love to have control over steemit to ensure its freedom! i would be a steward of the throne! 

I sincerely believe that we need to avoid political flagging!

even if open pedophile satanist communists started gaining a following and making money to fund their message, we sytill shouldnt flag them! now if a bunch of minnows want to flag em, then yeah the community has spoken!

yeah its such a difficult question but  hey I just fear that the Leftists from reddit.com/r/politics for example all make a move too take over steemit by simply buying steempower ....

imagine if they simply bought a few million dollars worth of steempower, like  hoardes of them!

shit this is a huge issue!i wish more of us would make these plans!

and also we need to all be saving steempwer for POLITICAL reasons! 

Imbeing a hypcrit here saying we shouldnt engage in pilitical flagging and yet I am affraid the left will do this! but i dont wwant steemit known as some sort of right wing hangout! It should have BOTH left and right wingers here on steemit! they can each have their own area!

I mean reddit is like that with r/politics for the left and r/the_donald for the right and oveerall reddit is now right leaning and the LEFTISTS in control of reddit in siliconvalley are all trying to look legit by allowing theonald to exist..even AFTER they totally banned anENTIRE subreddit known as r/altright which was a huge internet crime against free speech! even IF the altright subreddit had some open anti radical jewish suff so what? Radical Jewish people are allowed to cal for the death of whites...and the left is allwoed to calll for white genocide on twiitter, and i really dnt get why anyone would want to pick a fight against white males?  we only want whats best for humanity...just like any good person.

it would bee really easy to grow weed on mars or even the moon if u can just keep the pants warm at night! there is plenty of light ! and plants just ned light! and the nutrients and water, that can all be placed in self contained units like this 
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd1MubwcLdSUFEmzaBWM3BAmpMb9hrG7Z7XVXxtj5zX2n/image.png)

dude omg growing weed oon mars! it will be a GREAT steemit post!

My account testifies the same thing. But i upvote myself and pay to build stuff. So which is it?

I refused to get a witness unlike some even though i could have had one. Because i oersonally thought it was unfair. In a world where force is used to dictate action, everyone..including idealists like me are FORCED to cheat and be criminals in a system built to help us.  So in game theory u are giving people less incentive to do anything good VOLUNTARILY because their good deeds may put them at a distinct disadvantage against people who find ways around the systems put in place.

sorry but you sound like a socialist! whats next? Noone "deserves" to make more than $100,000 a year?

"the abuse is in being top four"
WOW so you think its ABUSE of steemit to succeeed and be on top? wtf?

And u bring up hillary clinton and her pai speeches as an example haha wtf we all hate hillary but her paid speeches were not for the fact that she spoke somewhere, that was pay forplay money she was acceptng bribes as money for a "speech" thats all, bad analogy , very conffusing

and look, if a commentgets over $10 who are ou to say thats too much money?

Look you have a real problem  if you think peopel dont deserve to make a smuch as they make!

this is a ffree market and if u go flagging people blindly just because they make money, espect to get flaggeed yourself! People will retaliate! i wont but others will! someoen will nvest millions into stempower JUST to help anyone whose been auto flagged unfairly! 
But hey u have your free market power to flag and take rewards away! I just hope u never make verymuch money here so u dont end up with very much power if this is howw u are going to be using your power, to punish people for being succesful and popular
Not everyone deserves to get steem for their shit comments! minows stay  poor because their content sucks!Just like how poor people in real life stay ppoor because they are bad with money! if a minnow isnt makeing much money thats their own fault! NOTthe fault of some whale who is making more thanthem!  if you have good content then it will rise to the top!
The ONLY excuse I can think of for flaggging succcesful steemitusers is if they cash out and dont hold steem or steempower or SBD! by cashing outw hen they amke thousands a day, that is bad for teem price ans we as community can excersize our free markiet  power to downvote 

Look whatever u are gonan doo what u want

But dont accuse others of cheating or unfairlly making money just because u dont make that much! 
Its shitty to arbitrarily decide how much someone should be allowed to make with their posts or comments

noone deserves to pay themselves? WHy not? What if they booight steempower and havent beenmaking much off it, steem price tanks, and they just want to make some money back?

if self voting was "undeserved" or somehow bad we wouldnt be allowed to do it at all!
Buts ory, if u can self vote, you can! and please dont make peope feel guilty for doing it!

its your rightto upvote yoru own comments! U CAN pay yourself and so why not?

Hopefully control freaks wont ever end up with very much steempower and flags from jelous people wont ever amount to much!

I really just wish people would stop this whole nonesnese of arbitrarily deciding how much someone is allowed to make everyday

Not all posts are created equal! if someone is getting a ton of upvotes, and those upvotes are from accounts with high steempower, why would you try to stop that? 

Noone deserves anything here!

Im tired of minnows acting like it would be better if everyone just got the same amount of money for their posts, yeah that would createa sitruation where noone would ever try to make uality posts!

some posts can explain how a developer wrote some AMAZIING nw feature for steemit! Or someonee can sppend 1 year on a documentary about steemit and release it on ONE post

SO that post ddoesnt deserve to make tens of thousands of dollars?!?! A post releasing some dnew feature programmed from scratch for months and months and fnally released in one steemit post with link to the github post, that kind of post doesnt deserve to make it on top and earnthousands? what if someone actyally works so hard that they release a new upgradeto steemit or a new steemit documentary veryday for a week! and they getto the front page 7 days in a row! Are they not allowedto reap the rewards of all their hardwork ?

its ddoesnt MATTER how often someone is succeesful! thats ther choise! 

some peopel work harder than others and f they can get thousands of dollowersto upvote everyone of their daily posts, thenmaybe you should try harder instead of trying to find some fundamental problem with steemit  to just explain the inequality away as a symptome of som larger problem with free markets....yeah we need more free maret mre freedom NOT more control!

Yeah i might delegate some SP.

I wish you good 🍀 
Keep it up 👆

Lol...bots bots bots. Will u care about how unreasonable this is?

Bots armies of fucking bots...and u guys are attacking self voting. What a waste of time.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Steemit is such a complex ecosystem now that prediction of consequences seems less practical than testing and adjusting. It would be nice to see some analyses afterwards showing whether the planned effects are actually occurring. I appreciate all the experimentation that goes on here!

*"I agree that getting paid to promote yourself is wrong! That's the whole point!"*

Why? You do realize where the value of Steem comes from, right? People investing money into it?

I'm confused, do you think it's difficult to create a second account and send Steem there to vote for yourself? There is no barrier of technical knowledge here.

* Minnow makes new account.  Worth under $50 SP

* Minnow makes comments, makes a post, gets unnoticed since he doesn't have a lot of followers.

* Minnow buys $2500 worth of STEEM and powers up his account.

* Minnow creates new post, and votes up himself.  While looking under the "new" feed, people notice this post is already voted well above 25 cents and wonder why.  They read the post, and upvote it too.

When this happens, it encourages those tho can afford it to buy STEEM to power up.  We want that..

It seems silly but I think there actually is some disagreement on that assumption, that the aspect to maximize is social utility. I think for some people the investment (or rather return on it) aspect is the most important.

Perhaps this should be the topic of another post, it's coming up a lot.

Being a minnow myself, my opinion is based on the fact that *flagging* may be demotivating and hurting. I'm placing myself in other minnows' shoes.

However, I also understand and appreciate that your opinions/decisions will be based on your experience here, having seen thousands of us enter and abuse the platform.

Thank you for being so patient with your response. :)

Can you help me make $1,000 on a single post?  😇

*"Voting yourself up 100 percent doesnt help you at all unless you put steempower inthat new acount! "*

Which is exactly what everyone would do. The only delay is a one-time power down.

EXACTLY! U build up steempower by SUPPPORTING OTHERS!
i have beeen TRYING to tell all these selfish people "Ask not what steemit can do for you,ask what you can do for steemit" 

be Service to Others not Service to Self

When u are worrie about your own account balance peopel can tell and they get turned off!

When u are AONLy worrying about helping others, peopel like that! and u will benefit yourself!

Yes man THAN you for ALSO explaining how a self vote from a second account wont do much unles that second account has stempower which SOOMEONE has to buy! U cant just create vote bots like reddit or view bots like youtube! To make money here on steemit SOMEONE with steempower has to upvote u! and steempower isnt free like karma on reddit , its like bitcoin, noonees gonna jst give out free bitcoins anymore!  same with steem!

anyway yes PLEASE getthis through your foollowers heads that ENGAGING WITH THE AUDIENCE is what helpes you! upvote al ur commenters and respons to them with upvoting minnows walls and showing them you did it! like this!
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUpo2rKtkVXRmGYhx9BkgcLJ5EK8YvThwCeXKSMc7gUxp/image.png)

for anyone watching, see how i just upvoted all of @elfspice rrecent posts and took a screenshot and showed him? And my upvotes are woorth 1 cent at current power so att least its something!
to a minnow givving them a few cents per post is great! it shows that things are happening at least!

Now, I just followed you! ccuz i see i have already been following your other accountt l0ki! so bravo and keep spreading the light of trth to brn through the fog of ignorance!

toooo many people here who thin they haveiit all figured out!

This aiint no democracy and it aint no commune! I wish minnows would understand the perspective of whales who SACRIFICED MILLIONS of dollars that they COULD have made with ethereum, JUST to support steemit, and they get ATTACKED for fucking making a TINY but of money when they COUL have made 1000 times as much with ethereum! And these minnows have the NERVE to coplain about whales making "too much money" ??? I know u are an oldschool whale who joined a year ago so u must have alot to say about this! u should explainto more minnows how much whales have lost from NOT cashing out and just invsting in ethrum..JUST to suppport steemit.....and how if u have the steempower YOU DESERVE the money EVENif u have to self vote! they are YOUR upvotes and u deserve to do whatevr ru want with em!

No good deed goes un punished!
