. Everyone is raping and pillaging trying to get all that they can before the walls come down, why shouldn't I? If everyone stopped raping and pillaging we could have a sustainable community that could be rewarding (in more ways than one) for years to come. If this place is getting bled dry, I want my piece of the pie too. That is a dangerous mindset for our platform.
Well said, what ever change there will be, it should discourage this behavior.
It is a tough one to break. I was shaken awake to see the error of my ways and I think others shown the clear choice that we are given would likely do the same. Make some money on the short term and kill a good thing... make some money sustainably for the rest of your life and pass on your steem account to your grandchildren.
If its up to human nature then the abuse will outweigh the good intention.
Unless there is a strong community to support a sustainable vision for steem. That is the most important thing to the success of steem in my opinion.
