RE: About the Whole Self-Upvoting Debate-- Let's Examine the BIGGER Perspective!
You got to the key issue at the end after a long ramble.
Who sets the long-term goals for steemit?
Is the long-term goal to be the premier blogging site in 5-10 years?
Once the goal is established, then actions that are essential to getting to the goal are easier to define.
You'd think that the development team that has $1M each into the platform, would be all over actions that can drive STEEM up by 10x or 100X. Cash out in 5 years and set for life to blog till the cows come home.
On the other hand, if the platform is just a play toy to run a social experiment, then leave things as they are.
This could become an online version of Big Brother. Really crappy TV that I assume no one ever watches.
@davebrewer, some of this has been confusing to me, and continues to be confusing to me. I know we have the original White Paper and we have an ostensible "road map" but it seems mostly concerned with "what we're going to do next" and "features we'd like to add."
As of this writing, I have not seen any cohesive 5-year or 10-year plan with any sort of benchmarking. Of course, I can hear the peanut gallery murmuring about such things being "the evils of centralized structure."
Well, not really. They are the building blocks of a well thought out project. A constant series of "course corrections" aren't much good unless you have a carefully laid plan to follow.
