RE: Community at its Best? Well, partly...
The future of this platform should rest in the hands of competent communities like @steemstem who care more about the longevity of Steemit than lining their pockets NOW.
The future of this platform should rest in the hands of all stakeholders who care about voting. I'm quite confident that the curators of @steemstem would agree on that.
I am trumpman and I approve this message 😂
🙌 :)
I totally do! And thanks to you as well for all you do for science on STEEM :)
Thank you @lemouth, I can only return that compliment.
For sure, I agree
@steemstem are providing an excellent example as to how we should all be using our voting power responsibly. They don't abuse the system with their stake, but, rather, reward all the people who add value to the platform with it.
They are not able to reward all people who add value. As long as users like you don't start digging for valuable content on their own, good content will be missed.
This is sort of the point of our curation. We are trying to create others who have enough vested stake to be able to expand the amount of good content that gets supported. :)
We can't do it alone, its why we strive to create a massive community of like minded people who, together, CAN.
You are right. I admit I don't spend enough time looking for valuable content and upvoting them.
I do, however, try and focus on producing the best content I can. This effort takes many hours from my day. I also focus on staying in touch with my own followers and commenteers. I can't do it all.
steemstem is not just the team that curates, it is the entire community of users who create content, and vote for said content. So yeah, it should be in the hands of competent communities of stakeholders who care about voting and making steemit a productive and fun place to be.
Exactly.
As decentralized as we think this platform is, the truth is that few of us hold the big accounts. How these funds get used is of crucial importance to the longevity of Steemit.
My 30 odd cents for 100% vote is not worth the time it takes to look through 20 or 30 shit posts and find the 1 of value. I add more to Steemit by spending my time producing original content that may improve peoples health.
I use my funds to reward good comments on my posts and supporting the few people I follow.
Additionally, No new investor is going to drop 100 000+ USD, to become a 'substantial' stakeholder, if the platform does not have competent people running the show.
By 'people' I mean the ones who currently have the majority stake, as they affect the reward pool the most and have the potential to attract skilled content creators.
