Every system you want to talk about has faults and warts. The way I see it, we can either sit and complain, keep quiet and carry on or we can do something to change it. I came on board in June 2017. The last 6 months have been the worst with all the complaining. There a few of us who just want to curate, create content and live peacefully amongst the force's disturbances. It is becoming more difficult each day...

I am with @cecicastor on this. Live and let live. If someone invests tonnes of fiat and wants to revenue from it let them. I think that's a narrow and lonely approach. But, it's also not my style. I play with self-voting as a lil' guy, it's good to believe in my own content. But, am not sold on using it as a consistent method. I am so happy with the support and community growing around me. It's relationships that matter. But, i want to find a healthy balance also in caring for myself in this dynamic world. Overall, I am very happy with my steemit experience so far!! So hopeful about the connections of this community. I'd have voted this reply of yours with photo of you at the beach with full strength but I have lots of steeming yet to do this morning! Man enjoy that beach and allllllllll 🎶 it's glory for me please! Would ya?
Thank you Jill, it was a lovely day :)
I think we are all on the same side here, people will do as they please in an ungoverned and decentralized setup. I hope you are having a fine weekend too.
Did you have to rub in that ocean scene??!!! Hope you two are having a blast..grudgingly stated.
Yes, yes I did :D
Thank you, the weather has been lovely today!
hahaha!! Now that's a classic emoticon! @abh12345 ;)
hey I want royalties if it goes viral! :D
hahahaha!!! but of course LOL
Dude, the more you post things like this, the more likely all of us are just going to show up at your place one day. :)
You should have seen Jan/Feb/March 2017 :)
I'm sorry this post seems to have rubbed you the wrong way, I think I did more complaining yesterday and actually wrote above that I feel really look with how things have panned out for me in the past 6 months - I feel i'm just stating the lay of the land and hypothesizing, and hoping to generate discussion.
The beach photo was to show that I'm not a grumpy old sod, yet.
Well, don't become a grumpy old sod! I think when I had responded to your post, it was the 20th post I came across in my feed that was complaining about Steemit. I get grumpy when I see everyone complaining about not making enough money or that the bots are ruining steemit. Everybody complains but nobody comes up with a solution. Granted there is less drama here than on other social media. But it would be nice to return to a more even keel. And don't get me started on flag wars. Why can't we just be friends?
I'll try my best not too!
And I mentioned a solution :D - Everyone on Steemit self-votes until there is no choice but to change code!
You need a solution that everyone will follow. My experience is that you will have the regulars who know what it all about, then you have those stick in muds that just won't and finally, those who just don't care. Just my two cents worth.
I am definitely among those who want to post, comment and curate. The rest of this stuff is sideshow. Unfortunately, with the way things are set up here, it's virtually impossible just to keep your head down. So the question becomes, while we're doing what we want to do, how do we affect change? Or is doing what we want to do enough? I'm personally tired of complaining, so that only leaves the other two options left, and I don't have enough energy to wage full scale war for change and do what I want to do.
So, I'm posting, commenting and curating hoping that's enough for now. :)
That's what I am doing for now too. Just doing what I want and love to do.
