I have been on for 5 hours now, wrapping my head around it.
And without a working penalty system that can even diminish the power of so called "whales" I do not see any way content shown not even appreciated but just shown to the majority of sheep as ever standing a chance.
Within you will find your niche communities created via following and eventually the rest of steemit will fade away into a bad memory as you won't be able to find anything of worth listed as "hot or "trending" ,
I am new and definitely do not understand all the nuances as would some of the older users but I do not and never will see the logic in allowing the mob or few in power to run amok .
I would like to compare it to what I told one of my customers one day when they liked a design but it was not what they initially asked for : "People think they know what they want , but never know what they need"
Point being , steemit needs to not employ sjw mentality and special snowflake rules - because people are inherently pathetic greedy selfish inconsiderate... I digress.
A start would be to crack down on shit posting, and they need to decide whether this is a twitter style I had pizza for lunch platform or a I gave these words written here actual thought.
Also it should most likely just split the platform up since it could replicate all the main socials from the content already posted, and obviously a tweet should gets fraction the steem of a medium post if you know what I mean.
Or in the words of Umberto Eco, it's an invasion of idiots :)
Thank you for that I have been looking for a new way to refer to customers my boss does not like me referring to them as pissgesigte - translation "Piss Faces". Although he prefers it to the alternatives I have used.
Maybe I am too mean to be around people.
