RE: double standard #1
You got that exactly right. Most of us who like to take our time to produce content and curate is just being at odds with what's happening. It's completely broken. Feels like it's only catering to the fast side of the brain / user experience. As for the econs talk, our scope is the microeconomics aspect of our product, SP, as a utility maximization problem. If the potential rewards gap between content-reflective and content-indifferent behavior isn't as crazy as 4x, then it's more justified to blame (and act out upon by downvoting) those who are still doing the worst for the platform. But worse than worst is to have been pushing and defending the current atrocious design for SP lol.
Some of us were against the current design and spoke out against it while it was still in the proposal stage. And the “community” treated us like pariahs...and still does.
But what are these assholes doing now to address the obvious issues?
Nothing. They’re waiting for the same fuck-ups to deliver something that will likely never be delivered, and if it is, it’ll fuck things up more than they are now.
I’m not going to say that Steem is dead, but it’s in the ICU and is mostly non-responsive at this point. People should be making their peace with Steem, just in case.
It only dawned upon me over time as my UX began to deteriorate. I guess it was a mistake to trust the "smart guys" up there to do the smart things, although I'm just here to write and curate stuff. I dunno, they keep telling me there's no overwhelming consensus to change this, but then again did they have "consensus" back when they were changing up things to what it is today? And how do we get a consensus now that most people wouldn't wanna give up the "easy money" machine and most dont even know what inflation is? It's also funny they've let linear go on while delegating to spam fighters lol.
Only if “consensus” means that STINC and a handful of rubberstamping witnesses liked the shitty ideas. But as I’ve stated many times before - most witnesses have absolutely no economic sense, no business sense, and no social media sense.
You can’t. Once you open Pandora’s Box, there ain’t no closing that bitch. :)
Yeah...the massive increase in spam was one of those predictable consequences that were actually predicted by some of us. But you know, we’re “toxic,” so those “no shit!” predictions were easy to ignore.
And here we are! Hooray!
