RE: Clarifying my decision not to support EOS-related posts and witnesses (100% of post rewards donated to curation initiatives)
Well, you're a nice guy, but quite delusional. It's not a kumbaya group hug unless these projects have the same stakeholders, which they do not. Tell everyone who's working hard or investing in one of these projects that you'll disregard their sacrifice and build something else instead. And for the record, I'm not pushing out top witnesses and I am getting tired of that insinuation. Some of them have made the decision they're more interested in other code than they are in Steem's code. They're welcome to do what they want. I'm certainly not voting for them if they take the same amount of money here yet tell us they'll be spending more time on other projects, even while they get paid with Steem.
That's understandable and thanks for clarifying. I still think the best value creators should be supported. It's certainly rational to conclude they will, in the future, provide less value for being divided. If that's the case, that's when I would unvote for them. If not, then I still vote for value added.
I'm hope the conversation hasn't been upsetting. I do tend to ask tough questions, but it's because I'm passionate about STEEM and the cryptocurrency space I love, and I don't want to see this chain lose value if great contributors don't feel welcome here if they are also involved in other things.
Thanks for the discussion and letting me share my views. I'm sorry they come across as delusional. I wasn't trying to make this about your personal decision because clearly you can and should do what you think is right. This is an important conversation, and I'm thankful you started it.
You've been very respectful and forthcoming about your opinions, which I appreciate. Yes, I think we need good contributors and if they aren't happy with current conditions, then perhaps they are not the best fit here. I have at least eight open witness slots right now because I'm getting tired of voting for mediocrity myself. Most of these witnesses have zero communication with the public and we have little understanding of what projects they are working on or what value they are adding. At the minimum, if they are not going to create tangible pieces that improve the ecosystem in their own right, then each one should adopt a dapp developer, fund some ads, or pick a couple of communities to support. That's what I do with the contributions from my post rewards. I know you've done some of this, which I appreciate, but that does not change my very strong opposition to any witness double-dipping. It's a conflict and it devalues the work of everyone on this platform.
Your post has been very beautiful. If we do not need to help all of us, then not my own person. The creator said that you will help people. I will help you. Thank you very much.https://steemit.com/@donkeypong
