I don’t think Steemit Inc, @ned et al have any clue how much their delegation to @dsound basically built an entire community of advocates for the Steemit platform at zero actual cost to them. I hope there is enough public outcry to restore the delegation. Turn a bad situation affecting long term public confidence into a display of the management powers that be recognizing value. If “communities” is the next big Steemit initiative this is a PRETTY HORRIBLE way to support a ground floor community doing the legwork by hand long before the infrastructure was in place.

I agree. It's basically killed the music community on this platform unfortunately, one of the most creative and vibrant communities on here. But the music communities that have formed independently like ACR and one I set up only a couple of weeks ago will find a way. In fact, it makes us come together even more I think.
In dsound's interview, he said that actually, the shackles had been lifted from developing dsound as now he can focus fully on developing it however he wants. That delegation still wouldn't be enough to cover costs of the servers so really it was to give back via curation rewards to all of us musicians that were using dsound.
Even though I also blog about other things, I was most active on dsound and it will make a huge impact on my weekly earnings on the platform.
Really hope there's a change in mind for the delegation but the trust is gone a bit...

The @dsound upvote is a monetary stamp of approval from a dedicated team actively spending their time curating content from regular contributors and at zero benefit to them, finding new talent to encourage content from. If this is not what Steem is about, I don’t get Steem. The fact that they pulled 1m sp seemingly flippantly is beyond comprehension given the collective amount of hours put in by @prc, the @dsound curators and all the musicians who benefitted from their efforts and found community on here.
Woudn't it be better if a big group of us delegated SP to projects like @dsound and @dtube? Lots of smaller delegations would make it more sustainable, as there wouldn't be a problem with one entity removing their delegation. All of us combined have more SP that just Steemit Inc.
I’m in for 1k, @sharpshot.
Your move.😎
Read the posts @D-vine just replied with, the bigger picture outside dsound makes sense as to what's going on.
