RE: WOX Community highlighted posts will stop.
You know how it is easy profit and knowing what needs to be done for it. I absolutely agree that there should be support and encouragement for those who Powering Up and also who really do that with the aim of then to grow their Steem Power and support others.
It is funny to see how many now can Power Up and how many users who previously were withdrawing now Powering up. What was then the reason for them not to do so or if they only do it if they have rewards and not deciding themselves. What about if this Initiative will stop, I am afraid that those users will Power Down immediately.
Yes, you are right when Steem is low then it is a natural selection only those who do not care about the Price may still remain and will be active.
To tell the truth, yesterday I was so frustrated with low Steem that was in mood to take our stake and leave. But as always my hubby convinced me to give more time and see what new year will bring us :)
Yes, many would power down, I think so too. That's how you recognize the real commitment to the platform...
But if we are honest: The STEEM that are now bound by the small and medium users via SP are a joke compared to those that are pulled out of the system daily via the investment bots.
I think the idea of rewarding for power up (if at the same time HONEST content is produced, users engage) is not a bad invention. However, it is not enough if it caps stagnation in other sectors.
Have you noticed how little constructive critical discussion there is anymore? I hope there is no intention behind it ("feed the people and they shut up"). How much longer will and do we want to put up with the stagnation in development? Is that what is affecting the course? Then we should indeed quickly take our coins in hand....
Maybe I need to see a psychologist after all: "Hey doc, I can't let go"... 😉
Well, see you next year... 😂
ok, one may expect the commitment should be mutual, no? never did a powerdown on withdraw even once, supported various communities, delegated, helped to grow fellow steemians, have left more than 13k comments all the way.
now, guess for yourself, what support I am getting from those er... lets name them: 'powers' -- who are only capable of support our posts in sufficient way. I am simply left no other way from this maze... a rotting wrecking ship of Steemit, with all those false 50-50, 75 and 100 clubs.
Oh, sorry: The quoted sentence was meant ironically, no, sarcastically.
I thought that could have been interpreted from my previous remarks.
With everything you write, I go completely with you.
I should have mentioned disappointment in addition to greed, envy and resentment among the negative energies generated by the club action. Disappointment of all the very loyal Steemians for years who have always acted in a community-friendly way. They turn away disappointed, even disgusted, or even resort to "tricks" that they have despised so far.
this! this is exactly the case... in my personal case it was 'the last straw that broke the spine' - after this "experiment" I felt not an envy but rather discrimination... and such an anger, that cancelled all activity and stopped powering-up and began to prepare for withdrawal instead. you do understand me, thanks.
they can speak about 'development' of the blockchain as loud as they want, but it is no-go.
