To be honest I don't see why you guys are so excited. You hurt many good people on here to get at a few bad apples. I suppose you can't even imagine what it felt like for some half way to dolphin to find themselves back near the beginning. Most these people actually took the time to engage with people. In the meantime if you go over on trending there's a guy making fifty bucks to show you a four minute video off a rooftop of a resort, another videos taken off the web with a couple sentences underneath, essentially a copy and paste working it's way upwards in rewards, and acidyo writing new directions/rules down then bidding it up 63% with bots to over a hundred bucks....in the meantime you guys shot people in the foot who'd been the up and coming around here to support the platform. How really pathetic and sad is that? I was just telling someone I was so glad that I didn't cave the many times I was finally going to give my license to an exchange so I could buy steem...it'd all been worthless starting two days ago. You really, honestly think that investors are going to come after looking at what you did to some people here? I am so, so thankful I didn't make that mistake, so thankful.
Have to agree with you on the culture issue.
People can earn on here by learning the craft of content creation and applying it. Will take time but the site is a marathon not a sprint.
The Steem blockchain, our developers and the community have had a busy couple of weeks.
One doesn't participate in something they don't like, they certainly don't celebrate it nor rub salt into the wounds of those who suffered from it. The problem this site suffers from is to much self interest, greed. Yes you can move forward without sticking the knife further into people's hearts, just find something else to write about...it's just that simple. No amount of pushing this is going to make steemit's value rise, it was just the wrong answer. It caught to many good people along with the bad. Doesn't matter if it was small bad accounts or large bad accounts those who weren't bad were impacted in a negative way.
Like @whatsup I was not pleased about the EIP .. but it is what it is.
We were around for the super linear curve which really tilted everything in favour of the whales without any chance of it coming back to linear at some point.
I am curious though, how exactly has it hurt you? I just took a look at your blog and I'm not seeing much in the way of change, good or bad, on your posts.
If you can find where I said it was personally hurting me please do highlight that in a quote. I've never had high expectations on here, that doesn't mean I can't feel for the real people who have been hurt. I am not changing who I am, good, bad or indifferent, I'll forge ahead being who I've always been. It's a hobby, I don't consider it an investment unless I would have actually invested money into it. What I earn on here more than likely will be exactly where it currently resides the day I leave this earth.
so who has been hurt and how then? you speak as you're speaking for them... so, examples?
As much as I have not been a fan of the EIP, we're too early into the results to be able to demonstrably state anyone has been hurt.
IF people can move beyond broad sweeping statements and make the argument against the results of the EIP to the top 20 with actual facts, then something may change. Until then, it is what it is.
so at this point that post of hers is worth double or more of what most of her posts are worth. She has a pile of low and no value votes on there. All it will take over the next 6+ days before payout is a few more votes with some value on for that post payout to shoot up higher .. that is the nature of non-linear voting.
she hasn't been hurt at all.. in fact she's ahead from where she normally is
No, you are wrong. Many people do participate in what they don't like...
Ever had a job, a marriage, played a sport, raised children. Good times come and go and you don't get to make all the decisions. I own 3k worth of Stake. I get to participate, not rule. That's your problem, you don't know how to compromise I guess.
I'm sure you going to tell me that's because you have such a strong character. That's what all my way or the highway people say.
It's this simple sunshine. Sometimes you don't get your way and you stay and work and hope for the best.
You make the craziest statements. I wonder if you have been successful before or if you shop at stores you hate and complain to the manager every time, instead of finding a new store.
I don't get you at all. I've been polite to you all along, I don't care that you disagree, but you don't even make sense. That gets annoying.
Ever had a job, a marriage, played a sport, raised children.
This isn't a job, a marriage, sport or raising children, some of those things are necessity and you do regardless. Participating in decision making on a blogging platform has a alternate choice available. If you decide not to participate your are not going to lose your job, marriage or children.
That's okay you don't get me, lots of people don't, that's why I stay on the outer fringes, it just works best for me. Yes you are polite but a bit to wishy washy for me. That gets annoying.
I don’t see what “we” did to anyone. The witnesses decided to change some things on the blockchain level, which has been done many times. We, those you are responding to here, are trying to make the best of it and help steer the community the right direction.
Your comment about “how does it feel” is short sighted, as how do you think it feels to buy and hold STEEM and watch it tank in value? It’s hard for everyone and some of us are trying to do is make the STEEM everyone holds worth more.
The shit on trending is being flagged, for the first time ever, and that means the rewards go back into the pool for those good authors. Now we need to work on content discovery and making sure that amazing content that is out there stops being ignored. That takes time, but for the first time (since I have been here), I see people actually working together to make it better... and that’s something I am going to get behind.
I don’t and didn’t support all these changes, but I very much can agree that something needed to be done or we would keep sinking. Sometimes change is hard and it takes time for these changes to balance out. No idea if they will work, but I’m going to work my hardest to help them work... because that benefits everyone here.
#newsteem is a new beginning, it’s up to us to decide where it goes next.
"I don’t see what “we” did to anyone. The witnesses decided to change some things"
Bullshit, steemit inc decided, steemit inc wrote the code, the witnesses follow like sheep, end of story!
I manually vote everything, if my vote is on a post it’s because I intended it to be. Feel free to use yours how you wish too.. my actions are on the chain and I stand behind them. 🙂
It's that kind of attitude sinking the ship, votes in all the wrong places. If I remember right, (if) it was the guy doing the rooftop video....if if is correct that's pretty horrendous.
It wasn’t, it was for the guy who runs a curation guild and I approve of the new guidelines. Maybe do a bit of research into your own accusations before you bring them here.
My flags are all over trending too.. and I would challenge “what I vote” up against pretty much anyone’s voting history and am confident I’d come out looking pretty great.
You’re now being ridiculous, so I’m done with this conversation.. going to go back to actually trying to help make a difference around here, for all our sake.
You’re welcome to join anytime, would love to have you.
I guess you missed the if, more than once if. I wasn't going to go through hundreds of votes to try and find it. No what that guy runs is nothing short of his own bidbot service disguised as a curation trail. No what he wrote was not worth the amount he bidded himself to. Go ahead and compare that to anything Taraz writes for under ten bucks then come back and tell me acidyo's critique of his new rules was worth nearly a hundred fifty bucks.
It's never going to be fair... ever. I will never understand how adults still are mad about fairness.
networking, friends, stake, content, mood, price, btc, recent news. All those thing impact the price. The best we can do is direct the rewards to those who are here and working on it.
May fail, may succeed. I don't pretend to know, but I can't imagine running around a platform I dislike and think is going to fail... just to tell people it's going to fail.
Yes. New record for me 😊. There is nothing old in those upvotes. Thank you for your comment.

Take my worthless vote for speaking the truth.
I'll take that and raise you one....just don't raise me back it might cause me to fold....lol.
I was outspokenly opposed to the changes. I don't own enough stake to change the world. I don't think the math is the problem.
I think the culture is the problem.
Have to agree with you on the culture issue.

You just have to look at what's being posted to see whom I am talking about, here's a fresh post I seen today:
https://steemit.com/newsteemit/@fishyculture/my-list-of-whales-to-curate#@sunlit7/px3ozc
As far as giving time to see results read the comments in this post as I gave a reply to someone who stated it will take time to see results.
so at this point that post of hers is worth double or more of what most of her posts are worth. She has a pile of low and no value votes on there. All it will take over the next 6+ days before payout is a few more votes with some value on for that post payout to shoot up higher .. that is the nature of non-linear voting.

Sounds about true to form for this place.
Your going to get behind it then I suggest you go removed your vote from one of the articles on trending I mentioned.
