is Steemit, Inc. going to stick by their story that HF21 was a "good" thing?
Of course!
Think of how long they prepared for the improvements.
For instance:
They removed the button showing how many readers we have...so that hopefully the number of votes (up or down) make us feel we are being read
When we comment or reply, we no longer see the range of comments (unless we have the time and do not mind lots of extra clicks to read from the original, which shows all), we only see the one reply...so we quickly give up, thinking nobody else was interested in debating the matter. Just as well, since everyone with an SP of less than 2,000 cannot vote on comments, since they just get sent back to the reward pool, making more Steem available for the big voters
They reduced the waiting period for post voting, thus ensuring everyone just rushes in to vote, not having to or being able to take the time to read and make an evaluation...so the crappier our articcles or posts, the better, as we do not waste time on creating posts that take effort and time.
Curators - does the word mean or suggest that they are there to study the posts and reward the best? Actually, what it means...no, surely this would be false...I mean, is it not a fact that most of the curators with their tails...er...trails, are witnesses? No, it would be baseless of us to even suggest that witnesses changed the creator/curator sharing of rewards because they stood to gain?
Has everyone noticed that the 'team' are doing their best to accustom us to the fact that they love lying, so that we do not take exception to it? How many times a day do they lie? I wish they would get more inventive, as I find it very boring being told a number of times per day that the page I want does not exist...and then it opens.
No, no, I do not want to make anyone look or feel bad, so I'll let it go... bye, bye.
Yeah, why don't you fork it already? Here you are, supporting slander of the development while you try to further your hare brain theories about what a scam this place is, and what liars the 'team' are, when you could be somewhere else, where you regard the people more than liars and scammers.
Just like a true socialist. You do not counter any of my arguments, using only insidious emotional comments to make me look like I am the bad guy.
How typical! At least you are consistent, in using socialist (marxist) systems/arguments that imply nobody has the right to criticise - if they do, they must get the hell out.
It is okay; I appreciate you do not have the intellectual ability to argue your points of view and that is not your fault, so I'll pretend you do not exist and there was nothing said by this person...uhm...baa (very sheep-like is all I remember).
Thanks for all this info!
Hey 'David', another little stone to add to your slingshot ammo - if you are wrong and they who are flagging you are right, why don't they explain to you exactly why the investment community looks at Steemit, shake their head and turn their backs on us? Why dont't those who are tailoring steemit to suit them are not buying huge quantities of our coin, so as to fight those who are selling? ooops, sorry, one and the same, so scrap that question.
Is it guys like you and me (small fry in Steemit terms) who are keeping the coin so low in value - or is it the big boys (and it seems most of them are witnesses and have dozens of accounts) who keep selling Steem/SBD every time it tries to inch up in value?
I am grateful for the last attempt to analyse my comment by our local sheep, as it reminded me that I should not get angry with them - it makes far more sense to pity them. As he starts to analyse...it is as if he is hit by an electrical mind-storm, making his thought processes fuzzy, so he instantly uses emotions arguments to counter mine. Then he tries to analyse again and bang...again - and so it goes.
We know that some of this is caused by the modern education system which discourages children from learning or thinking for themselves, compounded by heavy metals being pumped into their little brains (yes, I know, real conspiracy stuff).
I am not being critical, for even I find it difficult to make/evolve logical arguments, for I tend to prefer creative thinking. For instance, I would love to get a fundme for fnancing the creation of a small free clinic so as to save as many kids as I can by testing them for heavy metals and where needed, chelating them so as to reverse some of the autism it has caused. Unfortunately those with the practical skills for organising such a proposal in ways funders would react to in a positive manner, prefer to use fundme opportunites for funding themselves.
I see you are accused of writing posts for the family protection group, without you returning any of their upvote to help them support the families - is that true? I hope not.
That would be great. Have you seen "Patch Adams?" The Gesundheit Clinic of heavy metal poisoning. Sounds great!
How would I return their upvote? Who is complaining? Linda doesn't post anything that can be upvoted. Yesterday, I made 73 cents, partly due to all the intensive downvoting. How much of that do they want? I'm in survival mode.
familyprotection do ask that if they upvote you, that you send back a share of it, for them to use for helping families (like about 50% of what you get, nett. How? Easy, in Wallet, you click on Transfer and below your name, you'll see a box for the name of the beneficiary. In other words, you send them back directly their share. Say you earned 1.50Steem (0.75 in Steem and 0.75 in SP - you can send back from the Steem whatever amount you want. By sending it directly, you avoid passing through the curator tax.
Well, I'm not going to be doing that. Sorry. I don't make enough now as it is. If 50% (of the now 10% of what I used to make) has to be stripped away as well, I'd have no way to justify my time here.
Like i said, he feigns horror in his frequent posts he uses to milk the family protection group. But when it comes to supporting the group that rewards him handsomely, the group helping not only spread awareness but actually helping those here that have been under their heel, he's
It needs to be worth his while to participate. A fake ass phony like I said.
Gosh, I have not seen anyone use the word 'feign' for years now!
I usually find that people who know such words like to read a lot. I hope it is the case...
:)
Yes, I am a reader, although not as much as I once was. I was encouraged as a child and had devoured my dads immense library by the time I was 8 or so. During my 30's I spent time searching and devoured as much non fiction as I could on religions and politics, banking etc. That focus opened my eyes to a lot, and I lost most of my zeal for reading.
If I had the opportunity to be active, I would turn my back on reading more, for all that it does as muddy the waters, for there are many writers good at presenting the truth in ways that are meant to confuse us. But then I look back at the action I might have taken if I had been able and see how most of it would have only made things worse for everyone.
Still, there must be a time when we use our knowledge and take the risk of being wrong - to me, the worst sin is not in what I do, but in what I did not do.
