RE: Well, Now I Feel Foolish
The ship won't sink, but the freedom-flag it was flying has been burned (months ago):
How steemit became useless to freedom-fighters
It became a ship that flies nothing but a big dollar sign flag.
Freedom-fighters and whistle-blowers were forced out when #steemit decided to impose mobile number disclosure for account creation. Assuming @dan not the same person as @dantheman, I hope @dan goes on to create a freedom-respecting blockchain blogging tool (we need one).
As far as I know, they are one and the same.
The dollar sign flag was a mistake. This is still in beta. People are moving in and setting up their livelihoods around an untested product that still catches on fire, and spits out hordes of gremlins occasionally. This should be seen as a MMORPG with real consequences for the individual's investment. We're nowhere near a sustainably growing configuration. We're still at the point of a few zero sum gamers letting all the investment of time and money out, so they can take it home with them, and leave all of the rest wondering what happened. The money-stake people need to respect the time-quality investment stake people or this is never going to work. If there is a way to incentivize this, Steemit might make it to next month.
