I say I would need more info on the shot in the dark. What is the risk vs reward of taking the shot? How likely is it that the shot will hit (do I need to hit any wall or do I need to hit a teacup)? Do I only have one bullet? How much time, effort and resources have I already put into getting an opportunity to take the shot? If I miss the shot can I try something else?
What I do know is that you miss 100% of the shots you never take.
Now do I wish steemit would improve its user experience and there would be a system that would encourage people to engage with and vote for good content rather than selling their votes? Hell yes!
That is why I am willing to take the shot in the dark. If it works, I am sure there will be many options. One of them will be a system that encourages engagement and content. Other options may appeal to investors. Others to developers. I can't pretend to know what is best for all of those groups. Perhaps shifting all of steem to my preference would hurt other groups. That is why taking that shot on something that could be molded to uniquely meet the needs of those diverse groups is worth it to me.
Or we could go back to non-linear rewards?
It seems easier to admit the mistake and return to the original design.
But then, I want to sell sbd at one usd in steem and split the proceeds like it was regular inflation.
Doesn't look like I am getting a choice without years of coding classes.
