I don't know whether I'll be back on Steemit tomorrow or not. This "experiment" will prove nothing beyond the frustration content creators feel when their audience is countermanded by self-righteous whales who think they know better than anyone else.

Votebots are a problem, but not a severe one, and not one that is properly addressed by flagbots.

Curation guilds have potential for abuse, but are not inherently a problem.

The disproportionate weight of whale votes is a problem, but negating whale votes does not address the root issue, and denies the whales the opportunity to curate beneficially. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Steem on, but maybe take a break until after this mess blows over.
