I could understand your frustration about the huge, bought payout if I was someone who'd be constantly paying bots and raping the reward pool.
I still somewhat understand your frustration, even though I'm not such a person. Still, doesn't mean I agree with you. The payout is there, I expect some more flags to come in before it's time for payout, but that's Steemit. The part that's automatically powered up will stay powered up, the other part will either serve my education, as a reward of one of my contests, or to help someone I know on here out. I've actually sent out Steem to help others more than once - I just don't say anything about it, usually.
So no, I won't go ahead and give away all of what I'll earn with this post. I will just carry on trying to be a good member of the community. And that's actually more than most with such a high payout do (and I don't think I will ever have it again).
Nah, I am not frustrated at all. I know you don't buy upvotes from bid bots. And it is great to have someone who truly values you for what you do (but imo, not this post). I'd rather saw your mentorship post skyrocket like this instead for example.
I certainly did not state nor ask of you that you should/must give away your rewards, you are already doing so (delegation), and if I would, who am I to judge? That would go against my own norms and beliefs. I just made the statement that a pay-out like this 'could' feed 450 starving kids, and we ironically fool around with the reward pool. All I get from your replies is that you think I do not like you or tend to try to, basically only because I ragequit chat because I could not explain -myself, which had nothing to do with you or your opinion. That vendetta wasn't a joke.
Alright then, let's put an end to this discussion ^^
If you check my posts you might notice btw that I started crediting pixabay pictures to their creators a while ago, even though I didn't agree with your standpoint. But I'm putting in the extra work anyway.
And yea, I'd love to see my mentor post moon like this! But I'd actually prefer if it'd be the steemSTEM posts that land on trending (from the @steemstem account). Can't have everything I guess, can't have everything.
