The only way I can make sense of this argument is that you're implying what you value is what everyone should value.
Or... that everyone should be free to not have to dig through stuff they value. Instead, just let me see the stuff I care about without all the cross-tagging.
I think the most beautiful thing about Steem in its current state is the diversity of positive perspectives.
90+% of those perspectives are useless. If you have time to enjoy everything that's being posted, I highly applaud you on your successful and wealthy retirement.
But it's one thing to share your perspective, and another to ignore others'.
Not at all. I don't write for everyone. In fact, much the reverse. I write for a very specific group of people, who want to improve how they communicate.
If you have programming experience, you can appreciate the amount of careful effort that goes into developing a new platform built on a new invention.
I do. Doesn't make it any less lacking in comparison to even Diaspora, or Twitter.
This is new territory.
The only new thing, from a user's perspective, is getting paid for posting. In a currency which is not yet in wide adoption, and exchanging it for anything else is a complex process.
I'm just excited to be on the cutting edge of what I believe will be the foundation of a revolution.
Good for you. The only thing I'm excited about right now is that Steem will rise in value, and eventually I'll end up with a few thousand bucks worth of it.
I see. So you're not saying other perspectives are objectively worthless, but they're useless to you, and you're not afraid to say it. It's incredible that you have nothing to gain from 90+% of all the perspectives on Steem, and even more incredible that you have sampled so much of it in so little time. Cheers!
My point was that reading and writing are not mutually exclusive, except when you make them so. If you do, I'm sorry you don't have time to explore other perspectives. I hope you can find regular time to relax and reflect.
Yes, you are a user, but you are also a programmer. It seems like you are impatiently criticizing the lack of progress on a free platform operating on brand new technology. This prodding does not seem useful to me, from a developer's perspective, and Steemit's developers appear to be part of your intended audience.
If you care enough about the progress of the platform and are experienced enough, maybe you'd like to contribute to the code?
