RE: DLive... What in the Name of Unholy Crap Have You Gone and Done?
First off, thanks for commenting, bud.
But I honestly think any hatred hurled their way from the community is completely justified and merited. Reasons mainly being highlighted in my post. They used the Steem blockchain as a means to further their market exposure, finance and development. We were all of the understanding that they, in return, would at least support the very blockchain they relied on and assisted in catapulting their name into the limelight. Instead, they do a full on U-turn and, effectively, show us all the finger. No warnings, no prior discussion, nothing. Just up and leave with some feeble excuses that make no sense. Remember, they also paid themselves a salary from the blockchain too (courtesy of receiving a sustaincial delegatoin) as well as powering down the money in their account to further fund their development. Terms like "criminal", "under-handed" and "fraudulent" spring to mind.
So whilst I do agree that the reaction has been an overly aggressive and focus one, did you really expect anything less? To me anyways, the facts speak for themselves.
I didn't expect the split to begin with let alone the hyper-focused wolf pack response from Steemians, but that kind of response doesn't surprise me, honestly. It just reminds me of a super ugly breakup where the man leaves the woman for a younger, prettier, all-be-it less experienced girl, so naturally the woman feels used and abused and so the breakup turns ugly at times.
Wait... I was that guy...
Well now I'm happily married with a 1 year old, so I wish the best for both parties honestly. I'm a streamer, so I hold no exclusiveness to either dlive, steem, or any platform in general, but I also blog and that's why I like steemit. I will probably try out dlive after they migrate, but I will also try vimm or another alternative. Whatever platform suits my channel best is ultimately whats best for my content. There's always the option to dual stream on 2 platforms at once, so no harm no foul for someone like me, just win-win-win :)
Sure, man. Give it a go and see how things pan out for them. We, as users, should be free to choose which platforms we feel meets our requirements. I myself will never use Dlive on principle alone, but hey, that's just me and I'm still a little raw about the situation!
Man, have a good one and best of luck whichever one you go with. :)
