In many ways that proves to me the lack of understanding when it comes to this economy here. More people need to know the true greed is the one posting, demanding everyone else vote for their work, then cashing out on payday.
When I point this out - just from a purely economic/investment perspective with no mention of “greed” - I’m told that I just don’t “get it” and never will. People say that mentioning this is disrespectful and should not be tolerated. They pout and have their tantrums and threaten to leave.
Good thing I don’t care about such people and won’t censor myself because of their hyper-sensitivity and appeal to touchy-feelies.
We see eye-to-eye on this curation stuff and its importance. We have for 2+ years. I’m glad to see that it’s finally being addressed. As I’ve said many times before - I’ll drag these whiners kicking and screaming to better earnings and a better social experience if I have to. They’ll never give us due credit when it happens, but we’ll know.
Everywhere I look I'm seeing the same script being read aloud. I know for a fact I lost way more potential income as a content producer over the past couple of years under the current system, but that's not what's being said. I was out there yelling at the clouds when the value was high, because I saw the problems coming. I would have loved to have been wrong but unfortunately many of my predictions came true.
I remember being on the trending page under a Jerry post one day, talking about how ridiculous it is to encourage thousands of people to all delegate their stake to Jerry. Thousands of potential votes being concentrated into ONE paid vote. Then people sitting there scratching their heads, wondering why thousands of people are not voting for their posts.
I looked like the fool, @ats-david, because I was not earning those "easy profits." Not ONE of those people came out of that mess with a profit, unless they sold high, punishing the rest of us.
Ay-ay-ay
I could go on and on and on, for days. Two years it fell on deaf ears. Finally, some change that could potentially turn things around, provided more people have a firm understanding of this new economy we've created and have to figure out on the fly.
He's one of the folks that taught me early on: It's perfectly fine to speak your mind here.
A lot of folks will say: Speak you mind and get silenced by downvotes. Myth.
That generally requires you pissing off the entire blockchain, which is quite a feat in itself.
Some people have minds that are just screwed up when they speak it. They'd probably get arrested in public for anti-social behavior. That's life.
