Ned should be the role model of the platform. He is the CEO. Where in the fucking world could you have a CEO of ANY company act the way he does? It is completely adverse to the platform and he does exactly what we hope users do not do. This extreme self voting is disrespectful to the people who make steem great with great content and also to Dan. We have no hope unless the people in charge: Ned, Sneak, either change their ways or are removed from their positions.
I want steem to succeed and not fall apart. Obviously he either doesn't care or is completely ignorant to this. Greed could play a role. But I am completely in the same mind set as you @clayboyn, and i think there needs to be more transparency and more active development from the people being paid to do so.
Thanks for bring more attention to this matter. Stinc really gets on my nerves.
The great thing about a blockchain is they can outlive the usefulness of the people that were left in charge of them. I pointed to GOLOS for a reason, and while I seriously hope things don't end up having to go that way again, this is why blockchains are disruptive and unable to be permanently controlled by anyone. Let's hope for a more positive resolution to these issues before resorting to the most dire of solutions.
Good point. We are not reliant on them. BUT, they do set a bad image for the platform and are bad role models for our newest members. They play too big a role in the future of the platform whether we like it or not. I wish Ned would be more receptive to his critiques so that we could hope for a positive outcome and path in this regard.
ALL OF THIS @nicnas and as long as sheep keep following these nim-nods blindly and revering them without a good reason, we will have this sort of immaturity and ridiculous behavior continuing. Bunch of spoiled, new money fools, and you know what? DAN LARIMER MADE THEM, and they know it and he terrifies them now that he's gone on to eliminate their dead weight and make the next big hit they cannot compete with.
Isn’t Trump kind of a CEO that acts like that?
