In my opinion users who are replying to people with comments like this are a bigger problem than the whales voting patterns. I actually agree with you that the voting power of the whales is contributing to a lot of issues. We are not on opposing sides to this. We should not be fighting each other.
Reality is what it is though, so the best we can do is try and work on making it better. If you are making comments like this with the intention of trying to make things better, I would suggest you try a different approach.
the sooner this jackass (luminousfool) leaves, the better the platform will be.
He is wholly incapable of arguing without resorting to ad hominems.
I know what you mean.. I am tempted to 'not feed the troll' but at the same time I'd like to see if he/she has a legitimate issue that could possibly be ironed out. The more I talk to him/her though, the more it seems that the conversation isn't going to go anywhere.
In response to your reply below, I've learned that engaging him is an absolute waste of time. Like trying to get into a boxing match with a bag of acid. Completely toxic personality.
There are legitimate complaints about the Steemit platform, and I've had a number of posts with my own observations/recommendations.
There are far more competent, well-reasoned, POLITE individuals to discuss with. All you'll iron out with luminousdbag is that you've wasted your time arguing with someone who likes to spit venom. That should be apparent by now :) Fortunately, my downvotes for his comments hide his nonsense :)
I hear you. I think pretty much every public online community is going to have users like this to deal with. It's really not what he/she is saying that is bad. It is the way it is being said.
You and I are not people on the other end of the keyboard with thoughts and opinions on the world. We are evil and incorrect ideas that must be eliminated/destroyed :)
But it's not the best that can be done. The response you give suggests that we should do what we need to do.
Reality is that they gave themselves an edge over everyone at the start. Now whatever you make of that situation, it is the thing you are saying is a major problem... and yet it is on us to make it work?
No.... I jumped on.... I tried like hell for a couple months... but trying to line up to appeal for the 10-12 votes that matter. No thank you.
Blame the dude above though..... that is a better solution.
In the context of the conversation I am mainly saying that trying to compare what we have today with a "utopia" Steemit that doesn't actually exist, but is what we all wished it would have been is not really very productive. We have the Steemit that we have, so all we can do is make the best of it (or leave).
As far as the reality we are in today, I happen to believe that the future is bright :) I am not really focused on the site and community today (with all the issues that I listed at the top), but more on what I see it becoming over the next few years.
I am curious what specifically in my post you can point to that warrants the claim you are making about me. Everything here is just my opinion and observations. Any potential investors can check on all the information and content in my post and verify whether it is true or not. If there is something here that you believe is incorrect, I am happy to review and remove/correct it if I find there was an error.
