RE: Steemit: The Anti-Social Network

in #steemit6 years ago

I think 1 post and 10 comments is a great level for a new user. Just fyi, it's all in the opinions. Also if the content creator is talented they could look for a delegation or sponsorship.

Why buy a cow if the milk is free? lol

We will see if you are right, I know I and the people I speak with would disagree strongly. I guess you will tell by the user statistics. I just hope you don't lose too much credibility in the process of finding the right balance. If it were me, I'd err on the side that makes people not notice that there is a restriction... but its not me so I will watch with you and see how the results come out over time.

And the cow and the milk analogy is a good analogy that fits perfectly with the thinking of the veterans of this place I know. The issue I have with it though, is it assumes that Steemit is a premium platform. I would've agreed with you for the last 10 months, but if you restrict commenting (ie free speech) then I think this place goes from a premium site to a place where only a niche of investors use it. To me its a shame, but I hope I wrong!

I agree it is complicated and not all are going to agree on anything.

The risks you mention are real! The balance is we have a HUGE blockchain making it difficult for exchanges, witnesses, etc. to manage. Every transaction has a real world cost that everyone with stake is paying for.

When you say... YOU. You say we. :) I don't have any more influence on these decisions than you do. I just try to understand and help communicate.

:) on the "we" comment... That is one of the nicer things I've heard lately! :P

And I understand the balance is an issue, I hope that whoever is in charge takes the time to read this post's comments. The frustration is real and even if its based on lack of information, it still is a negative overall nonetheless.

And you are doing a great job of helping to understand and communicate. I wish we have some people at the top that were just like you. If you want a job, I can campaign for you to get the role of "Customer Relations"... ;)
