I donno if they'll regret it later. Steem is already in its 4th? year? 5th? I'm still here, curating and doing my thing, but I am not sure if this platform still will 'moon'
Poloniex delisting Steem recently wasn't a good outlook, either > __ <
I've been a dolphin for a while, but tbh, I've given away more than hundreds of Steems to other Steemians who needed the donations, because I am not here to make money :3
And frankly, I've been trying to onboard genuine new users, both before the OCD external curation happening and now with OCD, and I've seen these new users leaving the platform again because it is discouraging to see genuine talents and efforts being valued less against dubious people who just milk the platform for daily rewards.
Ideally, of course your dream situation sounds dreamy :> But we're a long, long way from there, and at the moment, the current system does not have robust enough system to safeguard "quality content" against the scammier practices. But yeah, I'm thinking I should just stop curating and caring one of these days....... :thinking emoji:
Still, I'm always advocating for education instead of punishment. It's just that who has the energy to keep educating over and over again, against the unending self-serving accounts who never cared to even think that every one can do our part to help lift the system instead of just expecting money to pop out of thin air every time they post.
Ah well. We'll keep trudging ahead how we can, I suppose.
^ That comment exchange in gif form :p
I have things to say, but I think I'll make a post about it later. Long story short, I feel your pain.
