haha! yes sir, that's exactly what I'm saying about the rep score and many others are saying the same thing. It's kinda meaningless already. Being stuck at 60 or 61 is fine. I agree.
What do you think facebookcoin is going to do to steem?
Did you see that post I resteemed today about the steemit killer MEOS? Now that might be something to watch!
Hey Lord Janton, it's a shame about the rep score as that was one of the things that drew me in to steem. The community upvoting people's content that they like and you know that person is going to produce high quality content. Still trying to get over it but I know I've earned my rep so I'm happy with it.
I think steem needs to create a USP for itself vs the likes of Facebook and Twitter that is a real "Wow" as "get paid for your content" is not the way forward. All the development of dapps is great but really there needs to be something more, why should people create content on steem? Sense of community? Is it for Bloggers? What's it actually do? Niche or general? There needs to be a CEO meeting to drive it forward by real business people in my opinion who can use the skills of developers to drive this ship where it needs to be.
I checked out your resteem from Quillfire right? I can't say I disagree with what he is saying but I left my comment on there. In short, I don't think MEOS will kill steem, how will it? Whaleshares, Trybe, narrative and various other social media platforms exist but here we are still. Facebookcoin will probably have more chance of doing damage simply because of the size of its user base (billions vs tens of thousands). It will depend really on how FB intend to use cryptocurrency. I don't know if it will be for content creators, e.g. one heart/like = a fbcoin or something. I suspect it will be rolled out to only the biggest accounts on there first but I haven't read the articles about it to understand fully.
Either way, I ain't going back to fb, hate the platform. I get more engagement out of being on steem so why would I then want to make the effort somewhere else?

Howdy today sir nickyhavey! I agree of course, about the rep score. I'm trying to build my account up, that's why I'm using ocdb occasionally, to build my sp, not boost my rep score, that just happens to come with it.
Yes I think Steemit will keep trucking along no matter what MEOS does. Sense of community and bloggers is what I think will keep people here. They're getting ready to get communities started and the advertising is making them money, they reduced the cost of running steemit from 220K per month to about 10K and that's even dropping so it's looking much more like a sustainable business model.
I doubt if facebook will pull any steemians away, I don't know of any steemians who don't hate facebook!
