RE: Hold On The Panic Is Coming...
I respect this statement and kinda wanna follow you..
I want to take this opportunity to say I don't think people even steem whales involved in dust ups and spamming nonsense are inherently despicable people, nor do I think any of them are here for the philanthropy. They are products of the environment and are playing the hands they have within a system that rewards bad actors.
Hence the eip debate that's been bubbling on for a couple years now. It's dicey stuff. I'm also here to build a community engage and I'm taking the organic approach.
TBH I was afraid I'd get a nasty reply from you as I'm quite blunt as you can see. I really sincerely appreciate that you are able to see both sides of the shituation while also being loyal to your main benefactor.
I know there was a time when these whales did great things for the chain and I get that they're embroiled in an ongoing war. I was once caught in the crossfire and survived to tell the tale steem on and hope to be a voice of reason.
I agree with your take on whales... they aren't any more evil than the system facilitates them to be.
I am a career plankton-nobody on Steem, and on behalf of my fellow countless hordes of plankton nobodies... I can tell you @skramatters, that those of us tiny crustaceans with eye stalks poking out of our chitinous little shells to see have noted for a long time that "bad actors" as you call them, are very well rewarded for their toxic engagements, bot army abuse, flag-bullying, etc... Steemit is the perfect habitat for de-clawing the wisdom of the "free market" when whale monopolies are literally built into the system and may crush even the largest concerted efforts from all except other whales.
That said, Steem and Steemit is still all a good idea... and the evil is bearable (until a better and "less evil" alternative emerges).
Well said! Very well said! I'm in complete agreement with all your observations and inputs..I would love to upvote this comment but it would get dusted. So I'll make sure to vote your blogs and give you a follow..
I don't think many of us plankton are aware our single votes on engaging and deserving comments don't go to the author.. This actually encourages real networking and connection though if spun...shit I just saw u haven't posted in a, while so I'll upvote and hopefully someone else will as well..
Yah man I can tell your reply contained a passion that also suggested you know the ins and outs more intimately than I do. With so much flattery for upvotes going on, I enjoy the hell out of a comment loaded with blazing guns. Hell, @berniesanders entertains the hell out of me though he really angers some, including some of my longest running friends here.
Either way, I am not gonna learn a damn thing if I tell people who disagree with me to STFU. I appreciate your perspective for sure.
A most awesome response that is warming my heart to the idea that there are rational and compassionate people here that can work together.. I'm not triggered at all 😂
I totally feel you on the excesses of flattery and while I am passionate, my guns blazing bravado is only intended to create this right here. Camaraderie and working towards a better blockchain..
Humble pie served up over here a heap of it. 🙏
