RE: STEEM can not be salvaged, most of its community should not be salvaged, but the concept of STEEM can be salvaged

in #steem6 years ago

What does busy.org have anything to do with this? Or SteemIt for that matter? It is not the job of a witness to run a copy of every bit of software in the community. How silly of a thing to even suggest.

I do agree, that TOP witnesses make enough money that they should all be running RPC nodes and possibly Seed nodes. Most of them do, and even have backups.

As you expressed how you are not qualified to be a witness, aka probably not very technical, then I am sure you have very little idea of the cost of operating a full RPC node on Steem. Then go ahead and throw in a bunch of other shit.

You are just suggesting to clone Steem and have different people get elected as witness. Guess what, if people actually voted for witnesses after researching what they offer, we would likely have different witnesses elected in the top. Last I checked, the percentage of users voting for witnesses is less than 15%. Therefore, you are just allowing the large SP holders to decide who to elect without any contest.

You are part of the problem as well. I am sure you could find more than just busy.witness to vote for. There are a lot of witnesses in the list, and I personally know several of them are giving almost everything back to the community. Some are developers, some are community organizers, but all are doing more than just bitching about things without taking action.

Honestly, it is a good thing that you care about the future of Steem, but your weird accusations aren't really going to help much. Make your problems actionable and do something about it. If you don't have the skills required, then maybe help fund or support someone or a team that does.

Btw, @berniesanders has a very interesting way of approaching the problems in Steem. I personally think the awareness he brings helps more than what most others are doing. "Reward Pool Rape" is going to happen no matter what unless the system makes changes to prevent it. Bernie making an account that brings this issue to light, while also taking some rewards to repurpose in the form of support for developers or for FLAGS for idiots is very beneficial.

One of the biggest problems with Steem is the insane level of entitlement its users possess. You are not ENTITLED to the reward pool until your post pays out after 7 days. If you dont get votes, or if you get flagged to below $0, that is all part of the system.

If you invest millions into Steem so you can upvote yourself for hundreds of dollars, that is also part of the system.
