RE: Steemit - doomed to fail? My two cents.
You raise some valid points. To summarise; the system can be abused, and self-moderating is difficult because people fear the backlash of larger accounts.
However, I take a much more positive outlook of the platform. Behind the noise of selfishness and spam, there is a great core community creating top quality content and helping each other to better themselves.
I think as the platform grows, something will need to be done about some of the major issues. Spam, in particular, is quite an annoyance. My technique as a minnow is to simply ignore all spam and flag any worthless comments on my posts. If they're not earning, they will eventually give up. That's the hope, anyway.
"there is a great core community creating top quality content and helping each other to better themselves." - yeah right XD - "steemers are the best people in the world who i love with all my heart and soul, i could kiss all of them, my bosom is a source of endless love and compassion. up-vote me please :)"
You're mistaken. I never fish for an upvote, but I do enjoy getting involved in discussions. I can only speak from my own experience, but I've expanded my knowledge on a daily basis on this platform through worthwhile posts. It's a shame that you've had a different experience, but you're clearly not here to discuss things properly, so I wish you all the best in the future.

Being positive doesn't equate to upvote fishing. The truth is, you don't like anyone questioning your opinion, which is what I did here. You then went out of your way to try to prove some kind of weird point.
If you want the uncensored truth, I think you're using the platform in a similar way to those you claim are ruining it. You spend time upvoting your own comments, creating threads about finding ways to earn here etc.
Each to their own, but it is what it is. I came here for a discussion and was met with nonsense. This is the last I'll comment on it.

No worries. You're entitled to your opinion, although I believe you're doing me a disservice. I found your post interesting because there are clearly issues that we agree on, but I thought I'd add a different perspective. That's all. Have a good day man.

Give it a rest. No interest in reading anything else from this now, thanks.
