This was a great VLOG, @exyle. I have a routine for my days and weeks. I typically watch some world news, The Daily Show, a documentary on some random interesting subject, and your VLOG's. They're easily my most informed content on the current state of Steemit. I have to admit, I wasn't aware of the full breath of upcoming HF21 changes. I share your skepticism and was just discussing the difference between human nature and quantification within a network, versus system protocol as seen by developers. What of the things that has impacted me the most since discovering Steemit is that if incentives are put in positive attainability, people generally allow their better nature to lead.
It took me months to convince @tarotbyfergus to join Steemit. What eventually brought him around was the prospect of making money for his posts. An interesting thing that happened, though, was when he started realizing he could MAKE other people money with his votes. Shortly after that, he began powering up and staking STEEM POWER so that his votes could make other users he followed MORE.
Some of these proposed changed and opaqueness worries me Steemit is going in the opposite direction. I hope I'm wrong. I'm encouraged to do some more research on HF21 now. As always, thanks for leading the community, man. We appreciate you.
**Also, I resteemed this VLOG so now you're sitting right next to two naked ladies on my blog, lol. You're welcome. HAHAHA!
