RE: Delegation Issue

in #delegations5 years ago

Keep twisting those words. I said come together in a manual curation group to help good authors be rewarded, only you could twist that into something bad.

It seems many here only want to complain and do nothing, it’s a free world so please continue. It’s been a couple days though... seems a bit early for the pitchforks.

I didn’t like or support the majority of these changes but will do my best to help them make a positive impact for the community.

If that doesn’t work we can all leave, as we as individuals have the right to do so... even you.

Sort:  

'Either do as I say, or you're just a complainer.'

No. You may actually believe that, but that only means you are unfamiliar with the proposals I have put forward.

"I didn’t like or support the majority of these changes but will do my best to help them make a positive impact for the community."

I am not interested in making more of a bad thing. I oppose decreasing user retention, decreasing Steem market cap and price, and will continue to advocate for good things, even if you and others oppose me. You may prefer I leave, as you indicate above, but until there is no longer a community based on free speech here, I am likely to continue to speak freely here.

Of course, Stinc could include me on the irredeemables list. That would not prove me wrong. On the contrary, it would prove me right.

You reveal fundamental differences in world view in our discussion. You have indicated with several statements that you will remain part of the crowd, no matter what that crowd does. I have indicated I will decide how to act, no matter what the crowd does. I reckon therein lies our disagreement in the main.

I refute again your contention that either we must act to support whatever our overlords determine is best or leave, and will continue to advocate for rational policy even if our financial betters refuse to listen. That's not just complaining, or opposing the wisdom of the crowd, despite the fact you can't understand it in other terms.

There are other possible ways to structure financial incentives on Steem than stake weighting extracting the vast majority of rewards, and I advocate encouraging capital gains instead. Eventually either capital gains will be allowed, or Steem will utterly fail, as the lower the price goes the less interest people have in it.

Please make an attempt to consider acting to influence the crowd, rather than simply obeying it's dictates. That might be scary. Courage is doing what is right even when you're afraid. Be brave.

‘Either do as I say, or you're just a complainer.'

Is that a direct quote?

And if you think I’m obeying some overlords you don’t know me very well.. ask any of those “overlords” how well I behave and get back to me... I’m going to go back to curating. Have a good day.
