RE: Steemit Boycott... "Already?" - "yup"
Do you understand what @xerox's post was about? If you do then you might realize how big a deal it was and why it made so much more money. Remember when steemit was down and you couldn't use the website? With @xerox's platform that doesn't have to happen. You can use steem, post, reply, etc whether steemit.com is up or down. That is just one thing. It also provided tools for a lot of other developers to work with. THAT is why he got so many votes. With 30,000 or so people registered at the time of @xerox post many of them are highly TECHNICAL. They are likely not the audience you think they are YET.
You are absolutely right on this being a niche audience. I believe that encouraging the non-technical posts from minnews will increase the value of Steemit by creating more diversity. Your point is totally legit though, dont get me wrong. I think agree more than we may disagree... :)
Tara's Makeup post wasn't very technical. Yet people complain about that. I think no matter what is voted on people are going to complain. The reality is we don't need to. @Xerox, and @Guerrint, etc now should have more steem power. IF THEY vote for posts they like they will help up lift other people. The only case where it kind of sucks is people get good steem power and don't use it. :) I don't think that is going to be the case for these guys/gals.
