The thing that bothers me most about the EIP supported by Steemit Inc is that they fail to realize that passive stake holders will script what they need to script to remain passive stake holders. The current set of proposals will drive self voters to become bid bod owners or delegate to bid not owners. This while bid bots are arguably more disruptive to the active stake holder economy than self votes are. Especially if those self votes aren't on posts but are on comments instead. Preferably comments on one's own post.

50/50 reduces insentive to produce good content and thus hurts the active stakeholder economy. Convergent lineair hurts new accounts, keeps the platform from growing and as such hurts the long term value of the platform. A separate pool of free down votes drives self voters from upvoting their own comments to getting involved with the poisonous bid not economy, hurting the active stakeholder economy.

Each of the three proposed measures contributes to making the active stakeholder economy worse, not better, and there are no signs of Steemit Inc even reading anything of the criticism these proposals receive.

I'm pretty sure all of these horrible proposals will end up getting implemented, and Steemit Inc will claim they did so with overwhelming support from the community.

I'm on the fence right now if I should be powering down and get ready to leave the platform when these "features" at implemented, or if I should continue to invest time and modest amounts of money into the platform and try to achieve dolphin status.

Looking at the total lack of anything resembling signs of even a modest course change by Steemit Inc as a result of criticism of these measures, I am really worried Steemit Inc is really going to continue steering this boat into the iceberg that we are trying to point out to them.

Maybe, just maybe, right now, the best thing active stake holders can do to keep this boat from hitting that iceberg would be simply down voting all "featured" posts.
