I believe a lot of Steemit's problems will sort itself out once we establish a robust middle class of dolphins.
The way I see Steemit operating in the future when we go mainstream is much like a country. There is always going to be the super rich making money off of the poor, but once the minnows of today actually grow, I believe the power difference will spread out.
hmmm... interesting point to consider.
Something to add would be that if these lower classes (smaller fish) are to only allow it to happen naturally, that natural happening will be that the whales keep making decisions for us. Currently it may not be that obvious the impact of that. Soon it will be.
Thus strengthening the need for discussions that involve fish of all levels. :)
That's a very good point! If we continue to swim with the current nothing will change. Even if we all grow over time, there will always be a very small few making the critical decisions for our ecosystem.
Just how there is a big issue in America with voter turn out, I don't think people realize the importance of voting for witnesses, as well as equal representation on the witness leader board. I think we need a minnow who has been on this platform a long time to run! Or maybe make a rule that anyone in a seat of power has to delegate a certain portion of their steam as a donation to projects that helps grow the community!
True.
Much of the reason this awareness is not there is because it is not easy to find or even known by a massive amount of users. Which is just another topic to get to lol.
Learning anything real about this place takes far more effort than most are willing to put in. Simple human behavior. Again something else that needs discussing. I've opened a can of worms I'm afraid lol.
Yeah I believe you started something that can’t be stopped haha but we need this dialogue!
116 comments so far! Congrats on the post and thank you for getting so many people talking! I think this will spark a new wave of dialogue posts! We should make a tag haha
haha I think i was actually thinking of tags that are issue specific.
I think you are right on both counts. It's already a lot to keep up with. lol
Well I followed you a while back, so I'm looking forward to your next post!

This may be true, but isn't the point of what we're doing here to make a better system? One that doesn't subject the masses to control by the wealthy? If that's the vision for this platform Im not interested.
