I just read his post. Well written and very humoring. 500 people... I wonder how many of those accounts the oligarchy vote down are actually themselves too? Job security?
That's very few people. I've had public speeches before with about that amount. It's not that many. It's basically a crowded church.
Ned proposed reforming governance of Steem by dumping the plutocracy for 1a1v,
Still a plutocracy or oligarchy i think. What Is 1a1v?
Idk what oracles are but if they get rid of sock puppet reaping rewards for ba reasons I'm down with it.
But there are things automation is inappropriate for, like talking to our neighbors
Now wait a minute, hold on there. Lol I know a few npc neighbors I could use automated conversation with. Save me the time and hassle to deal with them again if we cross paths.
But I get your point. Yeah it's not entirely ok and it's unfair. I would hate to be in a long conversation and it wasn't even a human being. I've had that happen many times in telegram, FB and Twitter back in the day. Automated picnics? Weird to even see..no clue how that would look like. Probably will just make anyone else feel socially awkward even if they aren't even in the picture.
Cheers mate. Time for sleep.
That was the purpose, and the oligarchy fought against it uncompromisingly. That's why Ned gave up, sold out, and gave birth to Hive.
