I agree with the majority of this, though, it isn't always possible to focus on everyone's positives. In my videos i call out bad behavior as much as I recognize the good, only because, as you said, there is no police, and everyone has to figure this out for themselves. Lobbying the witnesses is a nice idea, but ultimately, if there is someone acting inappropriately at the top, there's basically zero chance they will do anything about it. Yet, if newbies hear that a specific person is abusing the system, maybe then they will at least not follow them or upvote them. Not that it's a huge impact in the long run, but it's all we can do on the bottom. Great article though, there couldn't be an experiment closer to a Libertarian utopia than this. We shall see how it all pans out!

Here is my reply to that. I don't think this post was overly "optimistic" or "Pollyanna" we can be blunt as hell, while still showing the bad actors how, in the long run, their own behavior will be isolating and detrimental to their end game. So, I think we don't have to focus on THEIR positives, but on positive improvement for the steemit eco system as a whole! But, I love it when people don't just take me at my word,but have their own way of seeing things too. Thanks for the substantive comment! Come back often!
