RE: What the Hell? A Fucking Rant by Michael David
Its nice to see a poat thats not the usual circle jerk around here. Thought about running as a witness? Because this is the kind of passion I wish half those fuckheads had.
If I was them I would have been beating down neds door to get an answer about wtf was going on. I also compmetely agree there should be a @steemitcustomerservice to give us updates when things fuck up.
As you said theres not a business out there that people wouldnt be burning shit down of something goes down for more than an hour. As far as beta goes this is a public fucking beta. Most other public betas are used for things like final tweaking, stress testing, etc.
Public beta doesnt mean missing core components that are what make a social network function such as much of what you mentioned.
I'm going to use another curse word.... Centralization.
Having a centralized focal point is necessary to run something like this. that way we all know where to go for all the issues that are prevalent. It doesn't mean that the block chain is centralized. Just the social site on top of it.
Yes, I have been mulling over for some time now becoming a witness.
If that's the definition of steemit being centralized then it's already centralized as there is a centralized group of people working on SMTs and improving steemit. They need a focal point just like any other community whose sole job is community interaction and updates. Otherwise rumors run wild in the void of information.
Would love to have a witness who is able to voice complaints as well and thought out as yourself is all. Every site needs it cheerleaders in the beginning, but it also needs those that keep reality in check as well. We have plenty of cheerleaders for steemit witness's. Need a few more reality checkers up their.
That is just what is needed actually.
I will consider this much more seriously. :)
