Dear @stuffbyspencer, @treepi
I unfortuantelly agree with @khaleelkazi. We cannot expect to keep receiving great things done and pay pennies. That would never allow to cover dev expenses. Simple as that.
Are the exact reason I want Steem to be different. The current method sucks. Break down the barriers, allow anyone who wants to create a community come in and create one!
That's absolutely nightmare. If anyone could do it, then you can be sure that serious businesses will avoid STEEM at all cost. Simple as that.
Yours,
Piotr
I can't disagree with this more. Open-source software has proved this model already. Free things =/= bad things.
This is the internet, notorious for fast & scalable & lowcost solutions. There are legit money-making subreddits out there which, again, are completely free to setup.
Paying for communities isn't helping cover dev expenses as is. Burning STEEM doesn't feed developers, at least not directly enough. We need to think of a new way to go about that, communities should not be in that discussion.
