RE: It's okay to love Steemit, but stop pretending that the platform is healthy.
I'm seriously thinking about forking the source code and start my own platform.
The idea was great, but the current situation isn't any good. And honestly I think we have already gone to far to make the platform honest.
As long as the problems aren't fixed, the userbase will kill the platform. Sadly.
What surprises me the most is that the Company beside steemit doesn't even make an effort to fix the platform.
You think they would, because they kept a whole lot of Steem for themselves, and the better the platform does, the more their Steem is worth.
Has anyone checked their accounts, are they powering down?
If so, maybe they just don't care anymore.
If you do make your own platform, that'd be great if it allowed votes to be counted equally regardless of the amount of currency a post is worth (I'm not sure if that's possible or how it would work). That would allow certain posts to still earn a considerable amount, while giving many other great posts a chance to be really seen, and could stop the whole pay-to-play thing.
I've always thought that one of Steemit's biggest problems was the fact that you can basically buy influence; that also seems to go against the spirit of what decentralization is about too. I still believe that a system where everyone has an equal vote is the way to go.
