RE: A VISION FOR STEEMIT...COOPERATIVE ABUNDANCE
An interesting and thoughtful piece, I enjoy your perspective and point of view even in some places I don't fully agree.
I think many people point at arbitrary things and think they are a problem. For instance, self-voting. I self vote and double down with the bots, so I must be a selfish bad actor, right?
However, I also read, engage, manually curate and buy votes for others. Hmm, not so easy to categorize me now, is it?
When I know I am going to be inactive, I also sell some votes.
I know I am going on and on, but most of the fights/topics are invalid. Anything/Anyone can be good or bad.
One can not rape the reward pool. We all allocate exactly what we have invested, no more and no less.
We all have tools, flags, votes, witness votes and our voices to shape the community. Some people choose to sell, rent and buy other people's stake. Whether or not people appreciate those freedoms does not change it.
I am ready to be silent on the topics now, because this place will always be filled with new users and those who want to come in and tell others what they "have" to do with their stake.
To be fair, I did it too. I got frustrated for a while and bitched and then I just decided to show up and keep trying.
As you stated we all have different views and perspectives, but I don't think we have any unsustainable problems that need to be addressed. We have challenges that can be addressed or not, either way, some here are going to win and some will quit before they have a chance.
Again, I really enjoyed the piece and your thoughtful perspective.
Thanks for taking the time to help me understand things better. I do appreciate it. And by no means do I consider you a bad guy at all. I do suppose that some cross the line however and abuse the system. My personal motto is to : seek first to understand. I've got a ways to go on that one it appears.
Again, thanks for you input. Blessings.
I hope I didn't come across as sharp. I'm a bit frustrated with somethings that have nothing to do with you. I have really enjoyed your content. :) Mine is just another point of view.
Clean is better than jagged cuts❤️ Hahaha
I like that point of view, I do consider that everyone has a reason for what they do, and I have noticed a wave of posts telling everyone how they should run their accounts, it simply does not work, we all have to do what we have to do, regardless of reasons why, as it is getting boring "having" to explain yourself to others, when you are not obliged to do so. Have a superb week.
