RE: Good News for SBI Vote Buyers (Sponsors)
Hello, I am one of the Casters in the HoboDAO, a decentralized curation community.
Today I noticed that our recent contest report post was downvoted by you, enough to be the highest name on the voting list. Please stop downvoting the @hobo.media account.
I understand that you believe our use of SBI in our reward system is a negative action and that you believe it hurts your investment. I would very much like to take the time to chat with you and explain how (especially during this severely bearish market) the SBI program actually is helping keep Steem healthy.
If you wish to have that conversation I will be glad to have it.
Please keep this in mind, you are hurting our community operations by downvoting us, and doing even more harm by hindering the winners of our quality content contest system. We are partnered with various SCOT communities and if our operations are going to continue being threatened by you, we will stop utilizing STEEM in our reward system all together.
If we cannot come to an agreement on peaceful action, ...then our community will power down, stop renting SP and sell our STEEM for SCOT tokens and keep only enough SP to satisfy RC needs. So, please consider if your initiative is worth driving more people away from using STEEM.
There are less than 12000 people that are minnow and above on Steem, of them, many of these accounts are alt accounts, meaning that the actual active and invested members of Steem could be as little as 8,000 real individuals. Are you sure that the very best thing for your investment is to drive people to power down?
I hope that you won't back out of steem but find a solution to counter mmkk's obsessive, inconsiderate, unconscious, arrogant DVing. Might I suggest the tactic held within this post. We're stronger together.
I think that you brought up many good points that he has completely failed to look at during his crusade. I seriously doubt this type of person will listen to you as reason is not a tool of the irrational.
Anyway, whatever you choose, best of luck to your project.
Thank you for your response.
The HoboDAO will be switching its reward system to a SCOT-only program. We are partnered with Natural Products, Lotus, Foodie, Build-It and Intrepreneur. The Steem reward system is a war zone, which is frankly terrible for productivity.
If the DBlog team would like to integrate their token into our contest system we would be happy to coordinate with them. They aim to be a UBI program and it seems that the best way to do UBI is with a SCOT or SMT and not with STEEM due to the contentiousness among Steemians.
Again, your interest is very appreciated. :)
I agree. Very unfortunate.
I might be interested in rewarding people with the SCOT. I'm new running a contest and I've not sought out this type of thing but since you bring it up here, I might as well see if I'm interested.
