I am finally shocked - down voting one of the most supportive members of this platform, someone that is do anything to support good content, helping newbies and minnows, never self upvotes, never uses bid bots now becomes downvoted by the richest person on this platform? This is ridiculous honestly.
Given the reputation which is now set in stone and the unbelievable rewards daily will maintain that way one could say the experiment Steemit is DEAD. Time to Power Down or a new HF to avoid such dictatorship. What can be down behind curtains or on the blockchain!? Wasn't there certain agreements already? Where are the big whales and witnesses to prevent something like this? @ned @dan @berniesanders @ausbitbank @blocktrades - what can be done now? This is a sad day for Steemit!
Bring back the rules of max 4 or better 2 posts per day!
This has been going on for some time. Luckily my rep can survive his flagging and has already recovered thanks to the generosity of this community.
I think some mistakes have been made in the design of Steemit and perhaps some can be fixed in future hardforks, but a lot of damage has already been done. A lot of people feel disenfranchised as they see certain people get rich whilst they get nothing. I don't think it's the end as long as some of us keep doing what we think is right.
very good comments.
Power down, sell when the price is right.
I don't have any other advice as this point. Nobody gives a fuck.
@ned? @dan? @blocktrades? give me a break...they don't give a shit about making this place better...what the fuck have they done lately?
Two of them delegate to shitty users quite often. The other claims that he at least tried to change the rest of STINC’s mind to not change the protocols that made this current environment what it is.
But these guys don’t appear to be doing much of anything on Steem/Steemit. Still waiting on communities, a mobile app, improved onboarding, “world-class” documentation, and marketing...you know...the things they said they would deliver in 2017. And now they added SMTs to the list.
Nothing delivered yet. Plenty of promises and I guess what you might be able to call “hype.” That’s about it.
Meanwhile...the platform burns from the piss-poor hard fork changes from last spring that they refuse to acknowledge are a huge fucking problem.
That’s probably the best advice anyone can give right now, especially if you’re someone who needs the money. This place is what it is and there aren’t enough non-scammy douchebags who want to change it.
Yeah - I share most of your comments @ats-david - I actually still had kind of faith in the platform even we know certain things are f...ed - simply as there are still people trying to change something and where i had the feeling some people take care a bit about this thing - today was just a shock see someone gets flagged for nothing in my point of view from someone owning more power than the owners or the big stakeholders - maybe it is not dead yet! I got some people telling me the platform will survive and is not going to be killed by one raper - haejin is not the one that started raping - he used the existing system in an intelligent way - so blame the ones that created the environment!
I hope the good people here will keep going. Some are not out to get rich. Steemit is a great platform to empower the world and we'd hate to see that wasted due to a few greedy folk. Ned has his own agenda and wants to stay out of the squabbling.
haha, they helped a lot with memes. Both such a start lately.
This is the sad reality - these guys with the three letter names created this platform I heard? In Germany we would say - if all users come together (small and big) and handle this daily with a little of their Voting Power - Der Drops wäre gelutscht! Thanks @berniesanders - I have the fear in 6 months the reward pool left for all others might be under 50%........
This whole BS is so ridiculous that it’s hard to stay motivated.
It hurts me what I observe! Bad actors wherever you look going after loyal people like Steve! What a shame!
I could only upvote with my 💯 % to help just a little bit @steevc
