RE: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Let's all step back and figure out what can be done to stop LOSING STEEM USERS
I personally think it is a really ridiculous reason to downvote, but I happen to think several of our whales are completely random and have difficulty controlling their feelings.
Keep in mind these are highly intelligent but likely socially challenged people.
In any case we do have to accept unreasonable upvote and downvotes.
@whatsup, I agree here with the first two sentences. I don't agree with the last because you don't give a gun to a kid who has never used one and tell him to go play nicely with his friends. You definitely shouldn't give it to a person who has ill-intent. Where is the vetting process? Not everyone needs the power to DV.
My opinion.
Well that's a funny opinion. Who is going to Vett? Based on What criteria?
How is the open and decentralized?
I do understand that this is a libertarian platform and most people here don't believe there is a government here on the platform because it is "open and decentralized."
Who is going to vett is a good question. How can that be developed is another good question. Neither one do I have an answer for at this time.
Based on what criteria? That would also have to be developed. I'm sure some of you that have been around would have some opinions on it. Maybe the criteria is as rigorous as becoming a doctor; maybe something a little less intensive. Right now, as it is, if a person has money, they have the power to control (government) what happens on this platform. Money should not be the deciding criteria because the some of those people with the money have ill-intention or just simply have a strong opinion about something.
I say leave the DV that doesn't take away any money but don't give everyone the power to take (steal) other people's money.
It's a DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake) platform, that means... Literally... those who are invested make the decisions.
Sort of like a business owner. Those who do not have stake invested do not.
The entire blockchain runs on that... The entire distribution runs on that.
It doesn't mean they are right or they are doing the right things, but what it does say is they have the RIGHT. And every user can decide if they like the system or not and participate or not.
It has flaws, big flaws, but if you don't understand the blockchain part... The distribution and management it sounds like you joined a platform that you didn't understand.
Just because you don't understand it, doesn't make it less true.
While your ideas are great, they do not match the Steem Blockchain. Maybe a bunch of you should get together and make a competitor programmed around some different criteria.
Again, it comes down to who has the most money and that shouldn't be the one deciding factor. What about time invested in the platform? What makes this not count?
But, my opinion doesn't matter here because I'm a homeless dude without much money and, therefore, shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion. Many of the content creators here, while they may not be homeless, don't have much money either; but we do bring something to the platform: our under-valued content that gets us little return on our time invested. But, hey, we're poor. So who gives a fuck. As you said...
This is my current opinion on how this platform is run.
I'm still here though, chipping away.
I'm glad you are here... and you can hold opinions, but the opinions you hold are on a Delegated Proof of Stake Blockchain.
Which means... All decisions are based on stake. All distribution is based on stake. It's just a fact no matter what people's circumstances are.
Thanks, mate. Glad to hear.
I do have a stake in the platform, but it isn't enough money for people to turn heads. And this is one of the reoccurring problems I've seen since my time being on this platform. It has come across it too many times. Something about it just isn't working.
I agree it is very flawed. But I guess I think it helps to understand why it works the way it works.
maybe not.
Nice speaking with you.
I do have one thing I hope that you would be willing to help out a little, that is if it is something that you would support. plan of action.
It is abuse flagging from a person that shouldn't have the power to DV but does because he has money and nothing else from what I've seen.
Peace, brother.
