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.
