It's still a BETA project. It's an experiment. It's testing to see if could work. Steemit hasn't even been officially released and taken out of BETA yet.
I find the more popular something becomes, the people who miss it as an early adopter are always the first ones to throw it under the bus and encourage everyone else to throw it under the bus too.
It's human habit to hold true to your initial decision to not get involved in something, and see if you were right, by convincing others to rally with you.
We need to get over these personality defects for the greater good of cryptocurrency projects.
I listen to Tone Vays on his interviews a lot. 86% of what he says has a lot of smarts and accuracy to it. 14% of the time, he's wrong, and spends the remaining time qualifying why he's not wrong on that 14%
His hatred, disgust, and denouncing steemit in anyway he can, is that 14% WRONG where he's over thinking, and over-slamming steemit.
Tone Vays, give it more time. The best thing you can tell your followers is to stop slamming Charlie Shrem for making up his own mind on what he wants to do.. He's intelligent, and doesn't need to be "sold" on how to stay away from steemit.
Some people... really...
I've only heard Tone Vays on the interview posted here on steemit. I guess he's supposed to be an expert, but he comes across like a dope.
