RE: No. You do not own Steemit, Inc.

in #business8 years ago

What's the actual point of saying that, though? Everybody who is pissed off and disappointed at the actions of the leadership of the platform already knows that they can and will do whatever they want. In fact, that's why some of us are pissed off. This is not a revelation. You're just kicking people when they're down.

That really isn't my intention, I can assure you of that.

For argument sake, is it possible that the problem was that people believed from the beginning that they were entitled a 'say' in how Steemit ran their business?

To some extent I wrote this article because I think that there are people that legitimately believe that.

Investing in the platform and being a part of the community does not give us a voice at the Steemit, Inc. executive table. Despite the SP investment part, we are closer to Steemit's customers than we are it's shareholders.

Again, I am not saying that the community should not have opinions, wants, and suggestions. I'm also not saying Steemit should ignore the community. It is important for a company to listen to its customers.

If people look at it with the right perspective though, then they shouldn't really get upset when Steemit doesn't do what we suggest. If they are at least listening and taking what we have to say into consideration, then they are already doing more than they are required to do.
