RE: If I Ran Steemit: An Open Letter To The Steemit Community

[aizensou]

It's a very bad idea. It based on your POV as user and doesn't consider any others types in the whole steem ecosystem at all. We do have at least 3 main types: users, investors and developers here. Your suggestion is a slap in the face to investors who use their own money to buy STEEM/SBD (yes they are people who pay the steemit's bill). Btw there are endless ways to abuse/exploit such distribution.

From the White Paper:

The third principle is that the community produces products to serve its members. This principle is exemplified by credit unions, food co-ops, and health sharing plans, which serve the members of their community rather than sell products or services to people outside the community.

In co-ops, which SteemIt is modeled after, the investors are the users/consumers. As it stands, SteemIt is more corporate than cooperative in this regard.

I would plan something for the investors as well. I think they are the most ignored group of all actually. If an investor has a solution (sometimes it's much easier to see a solution from your group's perspective) then it would be good to hear one.
