I’m glad to see someone fighting to improve the platform, for the betterment of Steem and steemit in general. I think it’s a hell of a lot better than just sitting back and complaining, and sure it won’t correct everything, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a hell of a lot better than now.
Ultimate we are supposed to be a social network but one simple thing is not working in the current state which is that money is not flowing around and people are not communicating. I might as well start posting pictures of my ass, no one will notice, they probably just think it’s another selfie of mine (can’t blame them though, it can be hard to tell the difference sometimes).
Further more to just wait for the SMT to solve everything sounds a bit naive, if a company launches a product that is “broken” will you buy it based on the promise that the next model is going to be awesome - so don’t worry ? I think not.
I support your proposal, and I hope most people will realize that it’s worth a try, because things can’t get worse as I see it, only better if we have the guts to change a bit.
Thanks dan
Yes, a social media platform can't function if there's no connection between people's voting behavior and their subjective opinion of the underlying content. It's hard to come up with something like what we currently have unless you tried. After Steemit's restructuring, they were more receptive to my ideas on improving the economic system, as well has how urgent it is, for which I'm grateful.
I don't think waiting for SMTs is an option. It's like if the house is on fire and half the people are debating whether or not to buy a new couch for the lounge room or put out the fire.
Hopefully after these changes it'll no longer feel like I'm paying someone out of pocket every time I upvote a post that isn't my own. I want the rewards pool to be used for rewards rather than staking returns
Btw, you owe me 21c
