RE: Steemit's Only Problem: Whales (And Others) Acting Like Banksters

in #whales7 years ago

This touches on some concerns and questions I have about the future of steem since I have become engaged and appreciative of steemit the last few weeks. I see so much positive energy and content/communication from the heart rather than the ego. The ego is still there but it is so much less than other social platforms. The interesting thing is that there is money attached to the content so it's almost begging for ego (and bankster) attitude. It's an interesting problem to me to see how the positivity and love can sustain itself. I see people attracted to steemit that feel affinity to this type of interaction. But there are also the others that just want upvotes and money at any cost or at the easiest cost to them. It seems less of a technological challenge and more of a social challenge to keep a productive, positive and generous community thriving. But how can we "make" steemit behave that way? That would be control. I appreciate you and others like you who lend a helping hand, a gentle guide that helps inform us of the problems we are faced with, or rather how steemit could be a solution to some of our cultural problems. It seems in the end it's up to the community to decide what happens, where their votes go, how their voice is heard because otherwise it would be trying to control something that shouldn't be controlled.
