RE: Why Do We Bother To Create Content At All? Better To Abuse.
This is pretty fricking crazy.
Dayum..
Well, I'm not surprised. If you read my last post, you'd see how I compared Steem to the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary period
I think the politics of Steem are that of plutocracy...
Yeah, there are for sure some crumbs to be found around this website, but the vast amount of the platform's resources are just being re-absorbed by the "landed gentry" "vests"...
They have the most amount of Steem, just like the early american landed gentlemen controlled most of the land and controlled the trade...
At the end of the day, the minnows are just a way to legitimize the platform and draw in some investment and pool more resources in, no?
Unless the minnows organize and demand some change, I don't see how this is gonna change.
I think many of the whales on this platform don't care about the platform, they just wanna use us to collect massive rewards and make it look like it's "fair".
Lol, while everybody is screaming how Bitconnect is a ponzie, it's articles like this one that make you realize a clever rip-off can come in many shapes and sizes! 🙉 🙊🙈
We need to organize a revolution @lexiconical
Stage some kind of revolt...
We let America go to shit because of greed and complacency and acceptance of the status quo
Let's not let repeat that mistake with Steemit
"Well, I'm not surprised. If you read my last post, you'd see how I compared Steem to the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary period"
I did this in a recent post with this image:
"Unless the minnows organize and demand some change, I don't see how this is gonna change."
Doesn't really matter if they/we do, as it is STAKE rules, not majority rules. Those who benefit from the status quo most are those with the stake to change it (or, are conspicuously silent.)
This is what the abusers are counting on. The level of Whale apathy to reward abuse is incredible. Okay, we're decentralized, but at some point the accounts with the most power must act to correct a broken system. STInc controls the accounts with the most SP, so it is STInc which will eventually have to step forward to protect the product.
"The level of Whale apathy to reward abuse is incredible."
It makes sense when you consider most of them are, themselves, "abusers" in terms of taking a lot of rewards and not providing any quality content.
Have you got any ideas Yung Crypto Ben Frank ?
LMAO good one!
I have been talking with witnesses about implementing a mass vote system so when users like this get caught out then the witnesses can initiate a vote
Would this effectively be a black-listing process? If so, it would represent centralization and probably get complaints...
Not centralized because it is the community who votes for the abusing member to be put on notice. Then the witnesses can evaluate the situation and vote amongst themselves. It's perfect because the centralized platforms have a ban hammer- this effectively puts the ban hammer in the hands of the community. The thing is, right now we don't have ANY solution for those looking to cheat and scam the community...We are effectively helpless, we need a method, and a decentralized one to defend our community
Hah, did you reply to yourself?
Dude how is responding to this now relevant! Where the Hell have you been xD
I miss you bro
