Hehe, that's an interesting idea. If I was here for the money, it could indeed be an option.
What got me really excited about Steem was its original vision of giving value back to those who create value. It was a true game changer, able to turn the whole attention economy upside down. But now Steem has just become like all the other centralized networks, where a few win and many lose.
Back in 2016 and early 2017 there was a true competition for rewards between content creators, and everybody was truly aiming to become the very best version of themselves. Man, THAT very moment when a whale stopped by and voted your content - what a thrill! Now you can just buy the votes and the attention, and the whole game has completely lost its sexiness.
Time to move on and go live a new sexy adventure.
My business in real life is doing pretty well and I'll be focussing on that now. Let's see if I can become as passionate about it as I was as a content creator :-)
Thanks for the nice comment, it's much appreciated!
All the best for you, too. xxx Marley -
@surfermarly I don't blame you which is why I would like to fork this chain. The only thing is how to prevent history from repeating itself. For the time being, I will try to work on improving our ecosystem to fight abuse.
I am with you about giving value to the people. I want to be sure it is to those that are putting in the work. Not just fat cats with money to throw around buying their way onto Trending everyday. That's not the vision I want to build on for too long.
I want it to change.

Good luck on that, @anthonydavisii! Hope you find some like-minded partners on-chain who share the same vision and help you to build the network you all deserve.
