RE: Steemit's Biggest Problem, The One That We All Pretend Doesn't Exist
Please let this die because if communism is a buzzword in 2017, then I must be using Internet Explorer.
OP said people without scarcity mentality will not compete with each other because their needs are satisfied. I said that wasn't the case for the last 100 years because communism attempted to achieve the same goal and it was not able to. It's not name-calling but a direct example to support my statement ffs.
Sharing and openness and genuineness are not evil as long as people don't fake them for the sake of earning Steem. That is what being discussed. My point is that even with all the Steem people hold in their bags, they will keep doing whatever benefits their pocket best. You cannot expect people to stop being fake when it brings them money.
Frankly, all this talk could be avoided if Steemit took away all forms of reward distribution for 3 days and just took the money from all the whales and divide them evenly among all users. Just for 3 days, that would be an interesting experiment to see.
You know what, I completely missed the big, bold paragraph at the end of the article. Your reference to communism makes a bit more sense now.
It's cool as long as we can argue a bit and still keep it civilized. I like these bantering much more than other stuff.
My sentiments exactly.
