RE: Sad, but not yet defeated.

I have posted a few times on exactly the topic you claim I am not seeing. I have made the exact points you are making here - I did that over a year ago. However, I have since realised that there really is nothing to 'optimise' without the system being deliberately made attractive to investors. The mathematical reality is that the inflation process is where the rewards come from, in combination with the investor money. The inflation process means that investors will lose their money if they don't take action. It's up to them to decide whether they are best served by upvoting themselves or trying to get their money back another way.

I'm not really sure what you are suggesting as a solution here. Investors can take action to increase their rewards, whether it is through curation or authoring posts.

I'm saying.. they're making money and taking it out just like they accuse the little people of doing....but they do it too with greater consequence!

Perhaps this was one big grand experiment that was doomed to fail from the beginning because it requires people to be honest and vote quality instead of following money.

Support others and grow, instead of taking what is "theirs"

It doesn't really matter , does it.

You will stay.
I will go.

Life goes on 🙂

people were upset in my DM last night asking me to.please reconsider... But we know the truth... No one is that big of an influence to be missed for very long.

Another person will replace me and again... Life goes on

It would make me happy if this all worked out for the best. I'll say no more, except...

Thank you for spending the time to comment so fully!

I sense your frustration too. But I also sense that you have much more "grit" to stick it out.

Best wishes!!! 🙂

The bottom line for me is that I will post online for no money because I have a mission to achieve. The decent payouts of the past that may possibly return are a motive to stay and built this platform. I am an engineer and from a technical standpoint I still see great potential here - it's just a question of how the challenges get solved (or not). Voice and EOS are the closest to a competitor I see at this point and they are ditching the anonymity and attempt at decentralisation... so.. for now I will keep supporting Steem.

Perhaps this was one big grand experiment that was doomed to fail from the beginning because it requires people to be honest and vote quality instead of following money.

Ultimately, if the continuation of life is one of the aims of a society, then I am tempted to apply your quote to the use of capitalism by society too. There's a reason why many anarchists view anarcho capitalism as the antithesis to actual anarchy. We shall see!

You are welcome. One thing is for sure, many here will continue to try to make this platform a place that you can always return to if you choose.

Wishing you well aswell!

That was a very sweet closing line! Thank you for that!

(P.s. i prefer when steem is low...I don't like high payouts when steem is high. I stack much more steem in a shorter period of time when steem is low. When steem is high.... People get significantly less steem for their payout value and the pressure is to sell before it crashes.)
