Great post, my friend!!! I just wrote a similar one but with not this hard message... 🙂
I share the opinion of @bil.prag that removing will not be implemented and if it is implemented, I suppose we will see another hard fork... and maybe go back to the original idea that you proposed...
Anyway, I don't see consensus around this question and I see something more than that... I see a deeper and deeper gap between those on top and those who are creating content, manually upvoting, engaging in communities, and creating bonds online and offline...
And we know what happens when that gap becomes too wide and deep...
It's great to see "activated" again! 😃
Yeah those at the "top" are mostly delusional, no real understanding of content creation. A lot of them harvest free money from the DHF without really having any expertise. They aren't creators, they're on par with boomer bloggers that might post once every few weeks.
Exactly... That happens when you disconnect from the rest of the community, and that's exactly what is happening lately... They live in a bubble, but sooner or later, they will become aware of that...
