I'm not sure if someone who takes 25% of all awards can call someone else greedy...
Also...
Then they quit the STEEM blockchain, so now I can finally make a ragepost about their project without looking like a greedy competitor who is mad about the turn of events.
.... Nope. Not so. Your post reels of asshurt greed. Yet you dare to accuse those of us who didn't want to pay an outrageous fee for your so-so platform of greed? Tell me of any fee in the fucking world that is 25%. I was with you and listening until you dared to spew that garbage.
The fact of the matter is that their platform was superior. The reason is because they had a shit ton of money and they were more stable because they had heavily centralized elements. However, if you had done the right and brave thing, trusted people, and sounded the alarm in a tactful way much earlier, dive would not have been able to pull this off so well.
Don't blame the users because you chose silence. Admit your mistake and welcome the disoriented and betrayed users into your platform... Instead of making yourself feel good and saying "haha, I told you so... Well I didn't because I was afraid you wouldn't like me, but I totally could have."
Welcome us in. Romance us, buy us flowers. Then break out the music and lube up and maybe we can learn to love having your TWENTY-FUCKING-FIVE PERCENT FEE shoved up our asses.
How can you redistribute something you didn't take? Also, didn't you just gripe about people complaining about your profit?
Get your logic straight.
Wow. Downvoted my post without comment or explanation. Real mature, man. This could have been a discussion, but I'm glad you're showing your true colors. The amount of ego required to downvote someone who gets nearly zero visibility for saying something you disagree with is unfathomable. You're wrong and you know you're wrong.
The crazy thing is that despite my critique of you in general (I stand by everything I said) I'm actually in your side. I'm grilling you because I need to know for sure that you're there real deal.
My main issue with your article is that it totally seems to miss the point. Screw DLive if they're leaving. All the better for you. But now you are the face of Steem's premier video dApp. You can't shove customer choices in their face. If you're taking profit, that makes users customers.
Argue all you like, but when you do things like you just did it reflects poorly on Steem, on you, and on your platform. If you want to expose an evil doer and with dignity and grace, then it will become clear.
I want Steem to make it and, despite your behavior, I want YOU to make it. But I'm not some brain dead Steem worshipper who will pat you on the head and tell you you're great. I'm going to hold you accountable. If you don't like that and are going to fight it, then Steem is already doomed.
Read that post. Understand the changes. If accurate, I'm on the same page with you, there. However, my other points still stand. Instead of being bitter towards people who went over to dlive, check your attitude. Wanting better rewards isn't greed, it's common sense.
Also, if people take the time to read your whiny wall of text, you should consider reading their reasonable discussion.
