I did not mean to implicate that you do not give any thought to your actions. This post of yours is already proving the opposite ;). I meant that the shift from earning votes to paying for votes might very tough on people who decide to not pay for it. So there might be some indirect pressure for you to use the randomwhale system as well.

I am not very informed about the topic, I just feel it undermines the thing that a vote is actually meant too represent, but that might also just be my bias towards "pay to win", maybe Steemit is more complex than browsergames ;).

I understand I am truly confused, basically I don't think it's "ehrenhaft" to sell your so called powerful votes.
Kind of mean to give us no other choice but pay or NO vote at all.
Such a difficult subject to decide on and I am wondering how to build and create a fair community.
