What do you think?
I think the development fund initiative is a laudable one. However, that'll only be possible if a substantial amount of us become selfless to a certain degree and that can be quite challenging because most of us if not all of us are here for the Steem.

Hmm! No money, No motivation
I see a lot of contest being carried out by witnesses with the hope that steemians will get to vote them which don't have to be so!
So what are you trying to say?
What I'm trying to say is that the development fund initiative will work if people are in one way or the other are incentivised to do so.
Let's be frank with ourselves, there'll always be that what's in for me mentality
But the fund will benefit us all
You're right, the development fund will benefit us but that'll only be seen by Steemians who are not short-sighted by quick gain.
So now what?
Until then let's keep complaining about Steemit Inc. At least it's doesn't cost anything to do so — talk is cheap they say.
All action is preceded by a thought. Actions that require consensus are preceded by a conversation.
I'm starting the conversation, not complaining.
Complaining is where you bitch without offering a potential solution for discussion
Pardon me if I sounded like a complainer, I never meant it that way.
Once again, my apologies
No, I didn't think you sounded like a complainer, just want to talk about the pros and cons of allocating some funds from the reward pool to a development fund of some sort.
Directing some of the reward pool to some sort of a development fund if agreed upon by a majority of the witnesses I guess will lead to another hard fork to incorporate it into the system.
If the above happens, then collectively we'll all be part of the development and progress of Steemit which of course will have an impact on the reward ration (for lack of a better word)
This may or may not warrant accountability depending on how the development fund is implemented.
For now I don't think I have seen any cons of the development fund initiative, because it takes the burden off Steemit Inc and witnesses.
