RE: Seriously Considering Leaving Steemit - Reaction to Ned's Responses to Paulag
I found the entire thread really interesting too.
I thought Paulag's question was reasonable and well stated.
But I also find Ned's response to be reasonable.
And also @smooth's comment.
When smooth says anything I pay attention. But all three players in this conversation are coming from different perspectives and all are legit.
There isn't a right and a wrong, there is the reality of the situation and then each investor (potential investor) has more information to make a decision.
Invest accordingly and I am thankful they all chimed in.
What she said (and I’m not a troll)^^^
also @daan, over the year I have spent on steem the ones who cry they are leaving usually end up staying, these posts are borderline discouraging to many new people so I am leaving this comment in hopes you will think of those who are new. If you stay ... great, if you leave that’s okay too we all have a choice.
!gif happy birthday
Let me clear something first. This is literally the first time I've said anything negative about Steemit Inc.
I don't think I have to censor myself for new users, that creates an environment where pretty much any criticism is just swept under the rug. The first time I've heard about Steemit was through the Bitcointalk forum in the very early days (I've been a member here since early 2016)
There it was nothing but negativity surrounding Steemit, if you want to have a look at those early threads, here's an article that has screenshots of them all:

Despite that, I still thought Steem had great potential and was willing to invest my time into it.
I hope that I don't sound too mean, I think it's great to be positive, I really do. That doesn't mean that I should refrain from writing my thoughts after seeing that discussion. I'm entitled to publish my opinion and a little bit of honesty isn't bad at all IMO, even if it's negative from time to time.
To be completely fair, maybe I did react a bit harshly, especially after I've read all the comments on this post. Sometimes it's just good to let everything out and let other people bring you to reason ;- )
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Who said sensor ... i did mention borderline discouraging. And as many said above it’s all perspectives regarding the posts you brought up. Again, choice was what i said at the end. We all have one. I hear negativity about steemit everyday first about 8 months from bix weir and gang so I hear what you are saying. Many and I mean many “financial advisors” say leave since it seems too top heavy, ninja mines, That abuse with flags, etc.
nope you don’t sound mean but my point is many say they are going to leave and do not, the one s that leave do so without a post or discord goodbye. Ultimately its your choice. Everyone does have a voice. It just sort of sounds like a broken record if you get my drift, I’ve seen posts but like this from many and my perpective anyway is if one feels they must go then do it, it feels almost like a ploy to get sympathy, empathy, upvotes even if that may not be the intention. Ahhahah anyhoo go have fun on your damn bday!!!
Honestly, I get what you're saying and perhaps I should've been a little bit more reserved before writing something like this. I can tell you one thing, reading that particular discussion between Paula, Ned and Smooth wasn't something I should've done when I'd already had two glasses of wine :-/
Then again, they say people are always a bit more honest when they're slightly tipsy...
Well, every post is written with the intent to get upvotes, otherwise you'd refuse rewards. Sympathy? Perhaps, although I was expecting quite a bit of backlash honestly.
I'll definitely check out some of your posts as well, I don't mind having my views challenged, though I think I'd probably agree with you on the majority of points.
Rule of thumb: don’t drink and steem 😂😂
!gif cheers
Duly noted! I'll stick to #steempub next time 🍺
