RE: My Witness Update 💪
Thanks :) And I agree, if projects like Steem Messager are ever going to work, we have to be very open to using memos as messaging. It's the only form of native messaging atm.

Correct - is it the proposal that a message will cost some sbd to send? If so, I expect it will not find much traction. There is another issue I think - if there were more granular control available over the trending page - if it worked more along the lines of other platforms, I think people would not have the need to send out messages like a bulletin as users would be more likely to see whatever they consider to be relevant. For the moment though, using the memo as a bulletin board is just par for the course - as much as the complaints are I guess. I can see the outcry coming from higher powered accounts were the memo/wallet page is crucial to their lives on steemit. For me though, the transactions are less frequent. Still, I think it is a storm in a tea-cup and most likely motivated by other reasons than concerns about spam. From where I sit, it needs to be explained to me how this is spam - and then I shrug my shoulders because spam doesn't bother me in the main. What bothers me more is bullying and economic terrorism where sharks try to keep others from coming up in the ranks.
Yeah I 100% agree and currently because we use memos as a bulletin, deterring that is just another way to shut us down from coming up the ranks. As long as it is blatant and I think you shouldn't just message anyone (as that would be spam for sure) I think messaging your followers is more than reasonable. And it's not cheap either lol
