And if we change it content discovery will still be bad. I've said I am for it.
Which of our witnesses will code it? How about our stakeholders? You know the ones who are always screaming at Ned to do something?
I don't think our Authors are underpaid, in fact compared to pretty much any other market with this amount of eyes... everyone here is overpaid.
But my point is can we do it or not do it? Because it isn't going to help us at all with the rest of the world.
Authors are overpaid, and still think they deserve more (even if they have no readers) as they don’t understand the reward pool or economics and are only focused on their short term upvote. Stakeholders look to Steemit Inc. to do everything, and then bitch when they do.. while doing nothing themselves.
Steemit Inc. is trying to push the community to do more (as this is suppose to be decentralized and all), when their stake is being used to upvote shit posts 100x a day, rather than those actually trying to contribute to the ecosystem (which I believe will at least improve soon).
The problem is, everyone wants someone else to do something.. rather than do it themselves (minus a few projects). Then complains of power grabs and unfairness when the few actually try to do something.
We reward the behavior we want to see around here, and we get what we deserve based on that.
50/50 curation won’t fix the issues, but it won’t make them worse either... and hey maybe we could focus on something else after 🤷🏻♀️ Or the self votes and circle jerks will continue and the doers will either keep fighting the current and keep doing, or they will finally give in and move on.
When people start thinking of Steem as a whole, and how to improve it.. as then everyone benefits, rather than just fighting over themselves for their project or personal rewards.. then maybe we will get some actual shit done.
This is a better way to say what I was saying...
Do it, don't do it... the people pushing it aren't even going to code it. They would like SteemIt Inc to code it.
:) Let's keep our 2500 inside investors happy, most of them are over paid as well.
Authors are unhappy? Maybe, but those of us who are working on this on a daily basis can find each other. Those who just want to pull money out are not needed at this stage.
Yep, totally agreeing with your points. The amount of time some of our top stake holders have spent on this (and nothing else) without actually trying to do anything to implement it pretty much is an example of what is wrong here.
Get it done, or don’t.. it won’t change anything drastically and like you said, it sure as heck isn’t going to attract people who know nothing about it anyways. Or fix some of the bigger issues here.
I think saying it will help encourage “organic votes” is comical but hey, I think people should get a return for something other than making content. So I’ve always been for the idea.
I guess I’m just over it all at the moment 🙂 Do it, or don’t.. then let’s move on.
