Do you think Steem needs a big change?
Today “The newly formed Steem Alliance is holding the elections for the Working Group. There is a 10K SP delegation on the table for one lucky steem project” – wrote @pennsif.
I don’t know which other changes this Working Group will propose, there is a whole website full with Steem reform proposals here. But I have the impression that most proposals are only smaller or superficial ones, they want some modifications but no basic reforms, no deep changes. Do you think we should dig deeper? Do we need bigger changes?
- Yes
- No
- Perhaps, if this change means… (please comment)

I want to add a note of clarification. The quote in OP combines headlines on two separate topics from the SOS Daily News by @pennsif.
That's one thing. And while there are funds resources at stake we don't—as far as I know—have figures on exactly what will be committed once a proposal is selected. It's also not directly at stake in the election, as the current goal seems to be to garner legitimacy for the Working Group in the eyes of the community.
@ned has indicated he's interested in sustaining a selected foundation initially. He has also repeatedly mentioned it doing its own fundraising.
This headline refers to a contest currently ongoing from @theycallmedan. And it's on dpoll :)
Thank you very much.

The increasing of the real, human interaction under the blog posts of the Steemit community.
The real, human comments under the blog posts of Steemit is nowadays rare.
Not only under my own blog posts, but under many other people's blog posts.
There are a lot more content creators on Steemit than readers.
A lot of people want to write, but almost no one wants to read and interact (communicate) with others.
Just see this blog post (not mine) for example.
The author wrote a good blog post, but there is only 2 human comments under that blog post. 1 is my comment, the second is the reply of the author of the blog post.
But there are 3 bot comments under that blog post.
Nowadays the real, human interaction is rare on Steemit.
This can be very disappointing and demotivating, if you spend hours of work with a very engaging blog post, and you see that almost (or literally) no one cares about it.
This is the biggest problem on Steemit.
Probably this is one of the biggest reasons behind the bad user retention of Steemit.
Or to be more explicit, probably this is one of the biggest reasons behind why thousands of users are left (and still leaving) Steemit.
The community have to change (improve) the level of real, human interaction somehow.
On the bright side, I find dpoll posts have a better than average amount of human interaction
Yes, you are right. I experience the same.
Probably this is the main reason why dPoll became one of my favorite dApps on the Steem blockchain.
Another aspect for this is the fact that the developers of dPoll are care about what the users of dPoll are think about dPoll, and dPoll is constantly improving, implementing/porting new functions/features based on the user feedbacks/requests/ideas/suggestions.
Another good thing is the fact that they are upvoting polls (not every poll, of course).
It will be in even more engaging once the comment thread is visible on dpoll.xyz.
I suppose people want to collect Steem, and they aren't real bloggers or writers or content producers. The system incentivizes people to mix writing and investing (in crypto, in Steem), and that is not for anybody. Most people have no clue of investment. Many people are terrible writers. Perhaps most of them should simply work a little more in real life and buy a cryptocurrency investment fund (or ETF or investment trust).
I wrote about Steem rewards and wages here, poll here
Many people write a post and go to chat with friends or family on Messenger or Whatsapp, or Discord. Because the others are there.
Voted for Yes.
I think that Steem has some great dapps and developments but the big change needs to come in how easy/hard Steem is to understand for new users. If we want mass adoption we need something that the everyday person can understand without having to spend days working out.
I think you're right about that. What do you think would best fit that purpose?
I dont know I am not a developer sadly. But I would just strip things back to basics. 1 currency rather than 3 would be a good start...
Steem, SBD, MVests, STU (Steem Unit), USD - 5 measures are used.

the only change needed is the culture .
I think financial interests are mostly stronger than culture. For example tell a man he should be more educated if he works 14 hours a day to survive. Or tell a millionaire he shoud spend all his money to support culture. Or a steemian he should gift his votes to others, curate manualy if he can sell this votes, too.
Most people are selfish, and that is what is moving the world, capitalism forward, in first place.
maybe i say it wrongly . a business men understand that he need to keep the market alive by spending the money he earn . The truth is you can't save money . it is more on lack of understanding how money work . The government can't keep taxing people without spending it back on the people .
