'whalepower'? Politics (of a sort) and internal strife, conflict...

Snippets from link and commenters:
"In case you haven't heard, there has been a bit of a controversy waging on steemit over the past few months."
"There used to be a 4 Post per day max and then you would start losing rewards for the 5th post. You were allowed to post more but the rewards for doing so fell."
"the drama of the war"
"the wrath of other whales"
"whales promoting flag wars"
"We used to have a daily post limit of 4 I think. It's not a bad idea to bring it back, because who can honestly say they write more than 4 good posts a day? Maybe one day you have more time to write posts than the other, but if that's the case, you can always save a few and quickly upload them, spread across the week. I would definitely be pro post limit of 3-4 a day."
Uhhhhh...

Evidently, the sharing of a SOTT repost article for example, will have the 'cheetah' bot take note of where it originally came from and link to that instead.

The steemit community prefers original content.
For that reason, we have a Robocop in the form of @cheetah. The purpose of Cheetah Bot is to detect plagiarism. If you like something you read on an article for example, unlike Facebook or Twitter, you cannot simply 'share' this material with the steemit community. If you choose to copy and paste the article into a steemit post, Cheetah Bot will detect your plagiarism in order to warn the steemit community. Not to mention, you could be subjected to copyright laws!
There are ways around this that most steemians deem appropriate.
For instance if you like something you read on an article and you want to encourage a discussion on it, you could format your post to link the article and outline your own thoughts on it in order to engage with the rest of the community.
