This is my comment, the main points are totally different.

Slowwalker thank you for everything you did for Steemit.

Your post writes history and I want to predict the future.

In all things, there is interest, Steemit started out as a free social network and now it is promoting a conducting decentralization system where successful bloggers are only those who have the support of people who have Steem Power.

If I cannot vote for my post, if I cannot vote for the posts of the people I love, then it is no longer a decentralized system nor is it a social network. Because if you can't do that then your move to Powerdown Steem Power is right, because if you can't vote for the ones you love then there's no need to vote for the ones you don't know and don't like.

Solutions to lift Steem value from downvote is not good, viewership is falling, Steem value is falling, a number of investors are falling.

There may be other projects behind the downvote strategy that will promote their token or coin, and it is not in people's interest to remedy this situation.

Voting for others and strangers has its limit until a new Steem token platform is set up, then it is possible for us to expand with new users.

With your name, a radical change begins, from now on nothing is the same again and these situations will change for the better or worse very soon.

Everything can be solved with the software, how much to vote for yourself, for the same people once a week etc, but it is not a solution for the guys who make this situation.

When you vote for the ones you love, you get a minus, because those people give you back love. When some people do it then it's a problem, but when the judges do it then they vote for a quality that we don't really recognize.

This is such a shame that the only thing they can do is threaten to take down your posts, that you cannot write because you will be at 0, if the right to free speech is abolished then there is no longer any democracy.

There are much better solutions and this is the right time to make a meeting of all the whales and orcs as the biggest investors, to come up with creative solutions that all users can have an interest in.

When new users come in and look at blogs that have been destroyed, it seems so depressing that they have no desire to write, they have no desire to invest.
When people see the best bloggers who have been destroyed, downloading their Steem Power, then the sense of further development is lost.

I see that in many people there is envy, jealousy, revenge, hatred and that these emotions do not affect the good mood of the user.

All this together does not look good at all, only if the people are honest and if a meeting is made where creative solutions will be made, only then will we have the chance to stand up together.

We win together
