Thanks for mentioning my Steem-Travelers as one of those places on Steemit which push everything forward.
Well, as we talked about in the comments below one of the posts, I agree with you that Steemit needs attention or it will disappear in up to two years. Nothing can be done by us to stop it. Delay? Yes, maybe, but stop no...
Call me the optimist, but I still hope something will change. Maybe the SC team will convince Sun to focus on this project, maybe the platform will be sold to someone who is willing to do something with it instead, but I chose to believe it will survive. I'm observing the situation and remain careful though.
I must admit that you are the first person to inspire me with optimism. I think when we will be close to the catastrophe, then there will be some changes.
You've been talking to me too much 🤣
I understand your pessimism. The pessimism of a man who put a lot of effort into fighting plagiarism, who I'm sure was trying to change the system. But the expected changes did not happen. But if you failed yourself, you may need to form a team.
We did have a team but everything was dependant upon sc01 upvotes for them to help. I got upvoted a lot - much more than others and it still wasn't enough. Perhaps one day, somebody else will try 🤷♀️
Is this team still fighting plagiarism? If not, then a copy-paste catastrophe awaits us 😱.
I don't think there's anyone really fighting any more. The 2 people who did the most - one has been inactive for 3 months (and delegated all of their Steem to Tipu) and the other has posted once in 2 months and powered down. The witnesses remain (which I help from time-to-time).
Communities are doing their bit in their own spaces, just as we are in WOX - it's more a sense of pride that we take in our communities than any hope of cleaning up Steemit. I've no doubt that I'll write some posts on various subjects when I've got some time.
I understand that the SC team did not ask to return to activity. Apparently they did not feel much loss.
What is the use of witnesses if they are not in the top 20?
I will look forward to these posts.
We've shared enough evidence with Steemit about his main account for them to do something about it. They haven't. In fact, sc01 gave him an $80 upvote yesterday 🤷♀️
I'm going to have fun with this one... https://steemit.com/hive-108572/@endingplagiarism/the-life-of-a-professional-scammer-day-1
Oh, I've just had a thought on something that you might be able to help me with 🙂 You have become Mr. Stats Man so I'm interested to know if you can get a week-by-week view of Inflows and Outflows to and from the Steemit platform. Week by week buys / sells / power ups / power downs. I want to write a post and this data will help me significantly.
It probably only needs to go back 3 months if you can (the beginning of August or September).
Is this something you can do?
I plan to share some thoughts on this at some point. When I do, you can call me the pessimist 😆
