Hey @nonameslefttouse! First of all thanks for taking the time to reply in detail.
At first it sounded like you were ditching all your friends to start hanging out with the new kid because they had something more to offer.
It seems to be very human that if you stand up for something people only focus on the other options you didn't stand up for. It's as if I said that I love Coldplay and then people would ask: Oh wow so you dislike all the other bands then?
I personally see a lot of potential in DTube, and that's why I considered supporting new talents that are going to use this application in order to express themselves. Steemit.com has missed many options in the past, and now they'll have to deal with the consequences. A fancy Toggle Night Mode is nothing that pushes an application forward withing a fast growing market.
Now I 150% agree with your point regarding copywrite! Curating always included responsibility. I'm not a whale but still have some influence on what might become trending in a certain way. So I'm pretty aware of the package :-) Still thanks a lot for reminding me of the possible consequences. I'll definitely focus on creativity + copywrite protection!
These rules apply to any decentralized service built on the Steem blockchain. The next ones that'll have to deal with it will be the creators of @appics.
Again, thanks for stopping by and sharing your valuable thoughts!
PS: As you can see I didn't abandone Steemit and am still writing articles here. Just considered allocating my 2 Cents on video content for a while, that's all :-)
This part:
So true. That's why I built you up, but didn't break you down. The picture became clear once I gave it more thought. Seems like everything needs to come equipped with a disclaimer these days. So annoying.
As for me... I took a long break from this place. Five months. I didn't abandon it either. Life happens. I came back and now more than anything I just want to see this place and everything else attached to it reach it's full potential.
Anyway. You keep doing what you're doing. You do a damn good job of it. Thanks for that generous vote. I got you back x2!
Haven't we all taken a break from this place in the past? :-) Those who joined early definitely did. It's a wild ride.
I appreciate talking to people in a way we've just done it, so thanks a lot!
As I pointed out in my last post: I'm not perfect either, and that's awesome. As long as we keep being vulnerable, we'll be the very best version of ourselves. So thanks for your encouragement and generous upvote, it means a lot! :-*
