RE: Steem's Value vs Newbies's Resources Credits (RC)
I have been saying that they killed the system with the RCs since they came out for exactly this reason. You are 100% correct and the fact that they can't see that just makes them blind. Most people have stopped coming and for the few that do, they leave really really fast. No one will pay to make their voice heard.
A broad social platform will never develop as long as people are limited to so few comments a day. It is insulting and elitist to think that people owe you to speak their mind.
I realize they did this to stop spam and they will tell themselves that they are succeeding. That's true, and if they had NO users then I guarantee them they will have NO spam. I guess you get what you deserve after all.
I have given up on trying to help them. I either get no where with the people I know in power, ignored by the ones I don't know, or ridiculous defense of the system by the blind worshipers. I don't care anymore frankly because the people in power don't do a damn thing to reach out to the actual users. (yes they have their workgroups of career buttkissers, but that is going to be more of the same logic since those people basically do what they have been trained to do)
Anyways, since you donated 0.02 steem to get your message heard, I thought I'd stop by and give you my respect since it is a very good point you are making. I hope you win some people over and I will help if I'm ever asked by people that can make a difference.
Best of luck and again very good post!
They would be wrong in this as Asher showed in one of his post highlighting a post with in excess of 1700 comments that were spam. The only people allowed to spam on steemit are those that have sufficient steem power to do it.
Yes I've noticed this too... On one post I saw today, there were at least 10 well written lengthy robot-generated spam comments highlighting the virtues of understanding how to use the steemit system properly. Man that was so much better than the traditional "good post" spam of the past. I was thinking how awesome it is now that the spammers are rich articulate people now instead of poor 2-word users. This is really a major improvement, so I'm super shocked that the subscriber numbers haven't shot through the roof yet. ;)

Hey nice to see you again @neddykelly! And yes I think you are very much right... Too bad they couldn't look out further in time and see the opportunity to do it right.
Dear @neddykelly
Thank you for your kind comment and for accepting my invitation to Juan's publication. Thx for sharing.

Hey @crypto.piotr hi mate, I always judge a user on their actions. I do feel that this is the second encounter inviting me to some unforseen place and I think it will be the last. A man can only handle so much spam.
Unfortunately I also won't be dropping a vote on steem Church as I have no interest. On the other hand If you want to find me on steem shamans I'll be more than happy enlightening you on the afterlife 😂😂😂

Steem shamans? That made me laugh!
Yes, could be a nice gathering of ancient souls... Looking at healing ones own ancestral karma...

So have you created the place or are you just dreaming of it. Sounds like this dude is not doing too great with his church here as he just spam every single part of this thread! Granted most shamans are not like churches looking for a hand out. LOL
I think It came from a reaction more than a fruition of creating something in that topic. Unfortunately modern day society has no place for shamanism. The Tibetan book of the dead the bardot teaches of great liberation and not clinging to the body moving forward for Ascension. For the love of Pachamama.

Question, I am very new to steemit so I am still finding my way around. Is there anyway to chat with other steemit members?
Dear @neddykelly
I would like to thank you for your comment. Somehow I missed it and had a pleasure to read it a seconds ago.
Im very sorry for that amount of spam I created. Hope no offence is taken.
I lost you here.
Yours
Piotr
All is good buddy... That time has passed now..
Yes steem shamans. Funny aren't I? It was my invite gifted towards you. After u gifted me a steem Church invite. Are we on the same page yet

You got my vote for that comment.
I've had discussions with people, enough to understand where they are coming from and I tend to feel much the way you do.
You summed up my thinking in this one paragraph, I quite literally couldn't have put it better myself.
Our only hope is for a game like Steemmonsters, Drugwars or some other new game to become the flagship representative for the Steem blockchain.

That's exactly why I spend so much time lately on learning these things. I think the social side is going nowhere and rudderless, so hopefully we can catch a break with a game to lite the fire!
And thank you for the nice compliment! :)
Here's hoping! :-)

Dear @cryptogee
I only had a chance to read your old comment just now. I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts with me.

Greetings friend @davemccoy.
It's like putting a gag in each user's mouth.
I greatly appreciate the acceptance that my publication has received.
I am extremely surprised by so much support. Thanks from my heart.
I take this opportunity to ask you a favor.
Knowing these difficult times that Venezuela is going through certain communities have decided to show it´s support by delivering food throughout the territory. Also giving it´s vote of healing to Venezuelan publications in steemit.
For this I am pleased to address you on behalf of my friendly communities @VOTOVZLA AND @STEEMCHURCH. Do you know them?
They are currently opting for a 20k SP delegation sponsored by @theycallmedan. This delegation would allow us to help more people and in a better way.
Maybe you can participate and VOTE for @STEEMCHURCH. Here I leave the link:
https://dpoll.xyz/detail/@theycallmedan/which-steem-project-should-i-delegate-20k-steempower-to-for-1-year/
Have a blessed day.
Yours, Juan.
I did vote as you said, I have a lot of respect for @votovzla and like the way you write... Thank you for the great blog article and I hope you manage the situation as best as you can!
Thank you very much dear friend.
They are not paying 200 usd to have their voice heard. they are investing in steem, and can always cash them out. Hopefully having earned even more steem.
I guess it depends on what you think Steemit is... If its an investment vehicle, then your point is valid. If its a social network, then my point is valid. I guess 2 people can look at the same platform and see it for 2 different purposes.
Maybe it would help if the people that run it, would make it clear to the users just what this is supposed to be. ;)

I think some people will pay so their voice will be heard but therefore a better platform is needed. To be honest it is a chaos or mess or even a bit trashy over here. It is very hard to find (what I call) good content.
So if you pay and find out after paying hoe messy or useless it is for your goals you will leave. If you have no connection with others you will so too.
Paying will not stimulate to be here, neither will a free account.

Paying is already here isn't it? Aren't they called bid bots
