RE: "Our Corrupt Sense of Fairness" or Steemit's Incessant Rule Changes?
With Steemit, this is not the case. If someone doesn't like something, they simply post a complaint and if they can garner enough upvotes there will likely be a hard fork to calm and sooth their complaints away.
In a democracy if a group of citizens are against a specific law they can collect signatures to have it change. In many countries gay people can now marry, abortion is now legal and so is medical marihuana; this was all possible because rules were changed.
Yep, and there were open discussions prior to the rule changes and transparency after the rule changes as well. Something we lack here on Steemit unfortunately. There are also so many rule changes at once that we can't measure which change is causing people to complain, which change created a beneficial outcome for a majority and so on.
ok, then you disagree with the lack of discussion before a rule being changed and not necessarily the rules being changed per se.
I'm not a fan of the constant knee-jerk changes. As others have mentioned the Dev's are tweaking so many things at once that in some cases it makes it difficult to determine which tweak is having a desired effect and which is having an adverse effect.
My Theory
They are not giving enough time for one tweak to sink in to everyone before they either change it back (without notice in some cases) or change it to something else. I maintain that this is the reason for the majority of the complaining on Steemit. If the rules were to stay locked in for any extended length of time and let everyone learn and play by the rules for a bit, we would likely see less complaining.
And then all of the other stuff I mentioned on top of that. :)
