Well if you believe that there is no end in sight, why would you begrudge someone coming along to make a new alternative?
Do you think he should offer to work for steemit with the conditions you just stated?
I'm aware that the development team quit, but
- if he doesn't hire more developers, steemit is done anyway.
- if he does, then that's where the competition comes in.
Hence....why I cheer people like @theoretical who are MAKING a way instead of sitting back, doing nothing.
No I would prefer that he put his time and efforts into building something that can benefit steem in some form.
Ah.. well, as one who has been here since 2016, and has intentionally invested over 2 years of that time building the platform by training newbies with the initial experience (and then having all those efforts erased by hardfork 20 and 21)...
Let me agree with you by saying, we all wish people could afford to have their efforts rewarded so the entire steem blockchain can benefit.
Let me disagree with you by saying reality is a lot harsher than what we wish and dream and hope it to be.
I look at your account and see you stopped posting over 2 years ago with this account; it seems like you probably understand when things become more of an ideal than a reality for the Steem community.
You have beautiful pictures in those posts by the way. It's too bad that so many people had to powerdown when steem's problems escalated but, it's understandable.
If you want to continue to use your time to help the platform, as you're suggesting for @theoretical, you should begin posting on your account again and share your creativity with the platform.
In your own words, "put your time and efforts into building something that can benefit steem in some form".
Most of the positive comments here are from active, involved Steemians who are interested in seeing what he will do. I think that says a lot.
