RE: Steemit Roadmap 2018: Community Input Requested

in #roadmap20187 years ago

Mm. I guess I don't have more to say on the first point. You're right about this being a discussion since time immemorial on Steemit (a whole year and a half). Ultimately, there will certainly always be some way around. I'm just saying that I think the community as a whole is going to have to eventually draw some sort of line - though you're correct in that I have no idea how that line would be drawn.

No, no, no. Wanting to take power from the ones who have been here the longest and redistribute it so that we all have a minimal amount of power is what makes that a socialistic outlook. haha If money weren't involved, this wouldn't be an issue....I mean, people don't stop signing up for Twitter when they see that Taylor Swift has 85.6M followers and start feeling like that can't obtain that kind of popularity - yet, if I change that to 85.6M STEEM or USD or EUROS, all hell breaks loose. None of the other big name social media sites are currently giving out money, but people keep signing up and using them...for free....Without calling for power redistribution. Maybe that only makes sense in my head. lol!

Lol. I'll admit, this was pretty funny. That being said, you'll notice that I didn't call for any redistribution.

Me: Hunh. That's funny, things are looking pretty uneven...

You: Don't you dare redistribute my shit!

I'm not saying anything should be necessarily be taken from those with a lot of Steem holdings (definitely nothing they've already earned). Just that there may need to be some tweaking of the system towards new users and minnows, again. Hell, there are probably even solutions that wouldn't require that much. Currently, new accounts start off with a small amount of delegated Steem. A community initiative/sponsor system to do this to a larger degree for new users who create excellent content would be a great solution.

On point 3 we have defintely reached agreement, haha! And yeah, man, I know you're not attacking me. We're just a couple of Steemians shootin' the shit on how to make the platform better.

Sort:  

Yeah, that's kinda where I am too. I can't fix it, nor do I see a way to fix it....soo...yeah. lol!

you'll notice that I didn't call for any redistribution.

Yeah, I guess you're right, but when I read:

Power distribution is also pretty screwed on the platform right now

I heard a call for redistribution...That's typically where that convo ends up next. Haha I admit, I jumped the gun a bit. I believe that by the time Steemit is out of beta, reward distribution will be quite a bit more fair....Maybe. lol We'll see.

Yessir! Bingo. Wish more people could shout about stuff and still be friends in the end! haha
