Thank you 🙂

And Amen.. applause whatever else.. as seriously we need a kick in the ass. I’ve had a post in my mind titled - ‘The Rewards Pool - It’s not fucking yours’ but I haven’t sat down long enough to write it yet. I think many are so used to “free votes” it’s now seen as something they deserve.. and quite frankly I think that is what is the biggest issue here. That attitude is getting us nowhere and has me, a manual curator, questioning if we should be using inflation on content at all anymore as it’s become a shit fest that sucks value out daily.

The goal is to incentivize a community of active users, as that is damn valuable.. not to become a free Steem of income for retuning no value whatsoever.. how can no one see the long term issues this is causing?

Anyways.. I’ll stop ranting on your blog 😘

I sat in the back of the bus to Auschwitz with @cryptoctopus and mentioned this. Eventually SMTs (or similar) are the earners, Steem is the investment vehicle used for development and the like. Of course this takes time but things like PAL are already showing the way of how it can work.

Entitlement sets in fast, even for those who have added nothing at all.

....it would be much neater if we got rid off the whole social media 'earn by blogging' concept if you ask me.
Who needs content creators on a social media platform????

Steem would be far less messier without social media and people.

The sooner people realize steem is just another crypto, the better.
Steem doesn't want content it wants investors. (and it's doing a shit job at that also, once the allure of 'getting paid to blog' wore off).

The hook of content creation and 'getting paid', was just the salesman selling a Ferrari in the showroom, but delivering you a Lada - and then also expected you to be grateful for it!
....be grateful for what you receive, peasants! ffs.

If the content creators ( the leechers ) could all just fuck off, the code would work just perfect.! lol.

now slipped to 71, I see.

Rarely I have I come across such a group of people who didn't have one fucking clue as to human behavior, psychology, or understanding of basic business.....smh.

Privileged children trying to make it in a grown up world through deception and empty promises, and cronyism.
I.e hot air...(steem! boom! boom!)

Promising a Ferrari and delivering a lada -and then expecting people to be grateful for it, it reminiscent of the slave coal miners working for oligarchs.

They were brainwashed into being grateful for the fact they were allowed to keep all the coal dust collected on their clothing from the mining work - to use on their fires once they got home!

Your understanding of human psychology is woeful, matey...

Ranking 71 now.

No sounds of percolation yet?
Not considering powering down?
Is there a definitive price you would?
Or are you going down with the ship, regardless?

You never addressed my specific point in the comment I made to you earlier - Not like you to avoid a direct question with a direct answer! lolol

(I'm trying to help)

Who exactly are you talking to? Dramatic much? Who said get rid of content creators? It’s just everyone should understand the rewards aka INFLATION POOL comes from those who hold stake.. and you, me, etc are not entitled to shit. In fact what you deserve is what you put into it.. so your vote amount times the 10 allocated votes a day. So if your vote is 2cents, you own 20 cents of that pool and if you are earning more than that then that’s pretty fucking sweet, no?

The inflation pool is to attract and reward value contributions, that is a lesson we all need to learn.

As far as question you asked me.. no I don’t avoid much, and answer honestly and bluntly so maybe there is another explanation? If it’s on my HF post, there are too many comments and it freezes now. I did make my way through as many comments as I could before I couldn’t even make it work anymore. So, you could repeat your question anywhere you like or just continue with whatever this is.

Yeah, we need to make changes on Steem.. as we are dropping, part of that is the culture that “come here and blog and get RICH” started.. as that’s not getting us anywhere.

Any questions?

Oh warning.. dear lucylin, Also, I’m in quite the mood so you can choose an adult conversation or a pick a fight.. I’m prepared for either 🙂
