I have no doubt some of these things are done in good faith, by people who care about STEEM. I am simply trying to state my opinion, which is that you are not seeing the bigger picture and the collateral. There are things beyond numbers.
I am suspicious if the (quite large) grey area is argued with 'much likely in 6 months', 'we just need to put up with' and better solutions not being 'that easily coded'.
I think this ignores how fragile STEEM is, how important it is to motivate users and retain newcomers.
And I am of the opinion that these rewards should go to creators who are at the base (and shouldn't be at the bottom) of this economy, and surely need some motivation.
I am also sure that, while these initiatives come across as something to do for the good of STEEM, most of the people wouldn't vote if they didn't reap huge rewards!
Good solutions are usually also elegant solutions. This definately is not.
I will not continue to argue, me and many others made their point. And you continue as you like, this is the freedom we enjoy here, and at least we had a discussion.
over & out ;)
