None of this matters if users keep leaving. They leave because normal account controls were removed, conversations are cut off at 6 replies, and voting\bots favor the developers\insiders.
- Demand Edit and Delete be re-enabled so users can control their own content .
- Fix the 6 reply conversation limit.
- Make bots harder to run and less powerful, nobody likes automated nag messages or having join "bot clubs" to make curating worthwhile.
Users will continue to leave if user friendly features are ignored and power is centralized toward insiders with each change.
Yes another point I was making , you got it right :). If the platform requires you to go school again most wont even think about it, It's good we are getting the best people , but if you can't make it off the ground what use will wings have.
Support growth and learning, creation and genuine curiosity and Steemit will soar, support numbers and money and people will leave, those who stay , you don't want.
If you make it hard to earn rewards and let only economists and "powerful" people give you value, you won't be the place where the best news and stories go , they will find their own place.
I saw a millionare yesterday and he makes the same amount clicking a button compared to me after I do two hours of writing, two hour of revising, 4 hours of comments and promotion and another day of the same.
Now who is a beast and who is playing for peas.
And how can we compare economically.
We can't.
But I see that he is here and has no money other than the Steem Power , so he believes in the growth and development of the platform and the ideas it cherishes. Or likes big numbers and is going to leave 3 months after he stops caring.
