One problem is, and that's the main reason, that the majority of users are creating a platform for themselves and are greedy and not have any visions and phantasy.
They have a lot of money and don't care if the platform is good for many people (millions). They stagnate development on purpose. Look at my 5000 personal introductions on the street combined with poetry. Even tho I worked my ass off and made a reputation nobody helps me to get off the street. This is the most anti-social behaviour. They think that when you give someone 5 euro you can help him but all that is bullshit. I got a night in the hostel from wadepeterson I believe. A pizza from richardcrill and 80 dollar from payitforward. All the donations, I should have burned them. Now I got 50 Euro from roelandp. I hope it will arrive, my microcope, because I didn't have a home address. If you were a person who never heard about steemit, would you like to join when seeing that a guy like me doesn't get a chance? And that's the reason why nobody likes steemit and bitshares.
It has nothing to do with self voting by curie or steem guild or whoever. It is the rubbish egoistic and unhelpful attitude of many. People made thousands and nobody followed up on them what they did with the money. I opened myself to the community and explained my PTSD which is according to pychologists always in my life and offered to make a steem related soup kitchen but out of the hundreds of people who have thousands upon thousands of dollars on their acounts nobody comes together to make such a place come true and so that I can have a place to live and work.
This is the same bullshit like the social media and other platform nobody finds truely life changing and worth their attention. Who needs that?
When i hate one thing then it is when people are not capable or willing to do shit immediately and believe in the beauty of the small things. I am so sour and it is embarrassing for me to be a part of steemit because of that. If you want to get users you have to offer solutions to the worlds problems and that is unemployment.
People here always talk about teaching to fish instead of giving fish. They do the exact opposite.
Following you - barely a dime here but who knows? :)
