RE: An Idiot's Guide To Committing Mass-Steemicide
Idea, you make salient points on all accounts, lest one: Steemit isn't going to survive.
I do not know why, but ...I think if we are patient, its gonna work its way out of the mire of the vote greed and the self-adulation, the platform will be as big as Twitter. There are "true whales" aka sponsorship that will begin lurking, and this is the kind of platform that can and will reward in the way it was intended to be in the beginning; without manufactured "bot" hype for substandard content. That is what poisoned the well with Twitter. We just have to find that mind blowing content, and create it to bring the true whales to Steemit. I just know they are coming. Good Post sir.
I hope that you are right. The incentives for whales must be carefully crafted so that they make more money by individually behaving unselfishly (good for the platform, normal cells) rather than selfishly (bad for the platform, cancer cells).
Any system can be gamed. Economists call it "creative response". So incentives will never be enough. A real community mindedness must emerge in which unselfish people take ownership of the community and use "social coercion" to ostracize and otherwise punish those who act like cancer cells. "Evil prevails when those who are good do nothing."
Agreed Idea...following you now...I like how you think..this whale, dolphins, minnows is just too much....and we will need something when Twitter crashes... #justsaying
You won't be able to keep your intentions pure, @angelking. But if you resolve to do so, every once in a while you will forget your fear and, for a moment, be a channel through which God's love flows through you into the world. (Translate according to your beliefs.)
Wow...yes..yes...yes..thank you so much ...yes!
Your reply from the heart is worth more to me than a thousand replies from brilliant minds.
