This is why I feel that you're a great fit to be a witness, talking about this post. Even if I didn't know you before Steemit, you would still have my full backing. In a time of miscommunication and mixed signals, witnesses should offer a sort of unbiased, logical voice of reason. I just wanted to tell you that you do great work, Luke.
With regard to who adjusts for who, compassion is indeed key. I can't help but feel like a guinea pig for this post ahahaha! Anyway, everyone needs to adjust a little, as it's a very turbulent time in terms of development. I think non-technical people would have a hard time figuring out the goals, but I'm giving them way less credit than they deserve. I'm sure most of them would, but for those who wouldn't be able to, I do think it's Steemit, Inc's responsibility to bridge the gap. How could they expect widespread adoption if their product isn't understood by laymen? Expectation should really be adjusted especially when a lot of new members are coming in expecting instant large amounts.
What if they are not expecting that right now but we imposing that expectation on them at this point?
Thanks as always for your support, Jed. :)
Aha! Good point! Then they could at least clarify their expectations to allay assumptions haha!
