RE: Six Reasons Why You Should Stop Using BidBots Today
The creator of STEEM would not have named the daily reward pool as such if it was not for rewarding users.
Then the creator of steem should do something about it. Its the problem lot easier to fix for them than anybody else.
If the Creator of this universe doesn't get involved and stop it if an adult is trying to kidnap a child before your very eyes, should you do nothing because it is easier for God to do something about it if They wanted to?
If you are living in a home with ten other people and the central heating has broken in the middle of winter, should you try to fix it or wait until the people who built the home decide if they want to?
If you have three younger siblings and a mother who is an alcoholic, and if she has been passed out drunk for ten hours while your younger siblings are calling out for food, should you ignore their cries and wait for the mother to wake up and feed them?
I have been among this community long enough to feel an obligation towards the people who are in it. An obligation not to make things even worse for us just to make things easier for myself. If enough of us understood this obligation, then few enough of us would be using the bots that everyone's power would grow to make up for the unused power. And then we would find ourselves able to reward one another more, lessening the necessity for the remaining ones to continue using the bots.
I do not see this battle as unwinnable. The only problem we have is that too few of us realise there is a battle going on. And even still, many of the ones who do see a battle erroneously think it is a battle between bidbot users and those who are against them. But it is not. This is a battle between a small handful of Steemians who are attempting to gain complete authority over the network, and everyone else in the community and who will join the community in future.
Those are the things that personally affect my real life. That i care about. A online platform which says it doesn't care about its first million users, not so much. If a game is toxic, you move on to another game
Street fighter is a game. A content creation and rewards platform is not a game. You are mistaking a game for that which they have sold to us as a game. They have convinced you that this is a game through the process of "Gamifcation." You don't need to gamify that which is already a game. Thus, this a product and a service. If your local grocery store was selling you sour milk then I would not object to you desiring a better service. I and many others have paid in countless hours for a service promised to us by its developers, a service that has not delivered upon to an adequate level. I see no good reason why we should not be able to seek for a better service in light of the payment - the investment in time and creative energy - that we have already made.
In a game the consequences are not real. There are, however, very real consequences to the community that result from continued bidbot usage.
Everything is controlled now by witnesses who are voted for by users. Seems bidbots are winning the witness vote
the witnesses really dont have much say,. Steemit INC has most of the say because they still have a ridiculous portion of the premine.
Witnesses should imo have more say but not before Steemit INCs shares are distributed more
Oh and the creator of steem left for eos and is making a competitor... one that is even more centralized #fail
I am kind of excited about that. Maybe they will show Steemit Inc a better way to do things. Competition can be a good thing for Steemit.
i do agree with compitition
