Showcase-Sunday - Between hardforks and shivering chills, also some kind of Deja Vu.

Sunday. Yup, another one. And just in time to doodle and splat away in the immutable walls of the steem blockchain the 6th installment of a chunk of the subversive controversial messages that over time, I have been leaving occasionally written on the doors of the public bathrooms of our charming & lovable social and financial ecosystem over more than three years.

And since this time I've chosen a corpse in my blog which may look a lil bit too dense, stiff & stinky to please fully the whims of @nonameslefttouse in his #showcase-sunday dominical resurrection initiative.

I guess that my eventual audience would greatly appreciate if I shorten the anteroom and introduction to this Undead at its minimal expression.

I indeed suspect that there is already a lot to READ, process and digest in an old forgotten parchment of mine replete of relevant Deja Vus that even when they are old, they never seem to lose their validity over the years.

So, until here the prologue and preamble of this 'past its prime' story that I will share right away. To wake you up jointly with my deceased ramblings.

Then, next with all of you.

"Take note most of them usually won't care about 'content' and are unable to read a single shit at all on anyone's posts"

Hi there!!

Actually, this article will be registered like the post Nº500 on my profile and on the steem blockchain also. Hence, I suspect it should be kind of special. ¿Right? Well, at least, sort of peculiar for this special occasion nevertheless. Therefore, from my Cranky Humorous Echo Chamber, let's test together how adding a pinch of controversy on this post, could be able to generate and have some value for you.

First of all, I must warn you that this is a rather dense article, despite how short this may look to you. In which you will have to click on each colorful text that you will find throughout the post if you really have the intention & desire to reach true knowledge & awareness as the title says.

Because if your laziness and your usual aversion and unwillingness to READ gets in the way again feeding and reinforcing even more that usual pernicious habit... Yeah, you better stay still right there and where you are merrily splashing. "And BTW Read The Title One More Time"

¿Are we really a real time and alive community?

Realtime&Live.jpg

I suppose that for no one is a big surprise my strong opinions and point of view against all those practices and automatisms used by these tribes and collectives that I have highlighted above in green. Subjects on which I've already written several articles on the topic. And on which occasionally I have left even more testimony through my comments here, there and over there on other steemians posts also.

But this time, after the changes, early results in sight and effects that the HF19 application has exerted on the new behavior and manners shown by certain prominent and inflo͞oˈen(t)SH(ə)l/ personalities and characters in the steemit community so far. I feel compelled to expose it again (in the wild) for your proper scrutiny and evaluation. And consequently, also for the celebration of my 500th post.

Please, tell me more about equality, linear rewards and fair distribution one more time.

Incentives work, but they work — you incentivize good behavior or bad behavior. And then the problem, big problem is — and sometimes will you — you can design an incentive system that is incentivizing the wrong things. You have got to end it, and end it fast and decisive. So, that’s where they made the big mistake.

¿Rings this a bell already stepping on HF23?

FYI: I've said this before and I will say this again; I can understand and comprehend a lot of the stances that lead the most powerful & wealthy steemians to conduct themselves like they do.

Those who are basically investors, heavy steem shareholders, conspicuous cryptocurrency traders, gamblers and speculators hunting exclusively for opportunity and easy dime profits, etc, etc, etc.

¡Money Talks! you know. Then, in the core, steemit is about money, real & serious money. Money that can be earned in the way that they choose & best suits their own interests. So, ¿who'd dare to judge them if they don't know how to play this game better?

If you were in their position, with your pockets merely full of money and with little time available to multiply it in what has become your only scope, passion and hobby in life to achieve it in barely 24 hours available in a day. ¿What else would you do? ¿What would be your priority? ¿Huh?

¿Wasting time reading, evaluating and consciously voting and resteeming the self proclaimed masterpieces of the pauper and needy members of the community?

¿Really? ¿Could we expect that you would also play this game with the same rules and in the same way as most of us?

C'mon! I don't think so!! But what could I know? This is clearly only the perspective of some other pauper steemian who observes things from a country in decline and currently facing serious and grim difficulties even to find something to eat day after day.

Therefore, we have no choice but to continue to fuel the faith & hopes that someday, someday through these online communities and so called Social Networks Which Share The Profits With Their Users, we, most of us will fill our pockets with something more than fluff and cobwebs sometime.

And meanwhile, just settle with basically trying to nurture our brains with greater knowledge and experiences actually reading and consuming peer's content in an effort to play a collective fair game.

Like most of us are doing on this level of the pyramid. And that eventually, eventually we'll rejoice with the greatest prize that we are allowed to enjoy this thing for now:

¡Gain Pure & Solid Awareness About Our Condition! until reach the point that our status changes enough as to belong to the clubs featured in green above. And suddenly, unexpectedly, and surprisingly start to witness how our optics also change lenses to play the game just like them.

If you go to 1982, when Forbes put on their first 400 list, those people had $93 billion. They now they have $2.4 trillion, 25 for one. That is — this has been a prosperity that’s been disproportionately rewarding to the people on top.

Last but not least: ¡The Ethics Of It!

I have nothing against it but I didn't feel morally right about it either as it was insensitive to the authors themselves as I didn't read their work and not great for all of the struggling posters that just seeing another vote and a few cents come their way may be enough to inspire them to stick through, improve and invest in themselves. @tarazkp

So...
