I understand your point and I am frustrated by it too. We have people who aren't going to Steemfest, writing steemfest posts because they will get upvoted by a large curation group.
I get your point, I don't take it personally. I don't know if you remember that I was opposed to the EIP.
I just said if we were going to do it, we might as well market it.
We still haven't marketed anything. I didn't want to focus on rewards then and I still don't.
I want us to look outside of Steem! I am not offended at your comments.. I can totally see both sides of this situation and the solution in my opinion is to stop fighting and start focusing on getting new users.
