RE: FYI: "Trending" algorithm is a product of Steemit INC
- I have never seen Steem as a decentralized system. I have always enjoyed being on Steem, and I have always found the contradictions very comical! The Steem system very much mirrors the capitalistic model that it was supposed to challenge. It is quite funny!
- The best example of this is exactly the very fact that the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of less than 1% of the accounts. And even if there are Dolphins and Orcas who have a great deal of collective wealth, they did not do much to change what was really wrong with the system. It's a ladder - Minnows want to become Dolphins, Dolphins want to become Orcas and Orcas want to become Whales. This is the microcosm of the capitalistic macrocosm.
- What you all don't realize is that HIVE is a more concentrated form of a centralized Steem, with a few loud voices wanting to dictate the future of the blockchain and the social network. If Steem has already lost hundreds of thousands of users with this group in power, HIVE won't even make it to 100,000 users!
- If you do realize that ALL of the problems of the Steem ecosystem will now become the problems of the HIVE community... PLUS SOME!!!... you should also realize that HIVE is a disaster waiting to happen, while Steem, now hitting its bottom, has no place to go but up!!!
2+3: There are a lot of things going on you don't see when you don't participate. There are a lot of people working to make hive better and succeed.
2+3 The same people who failed to make Steem better, without the presence of Justin Sun? You have no idea how deep HIVE's problems will become!!!
To be fair, with steemit having control over this there was no real way for the community to take over. Now the community HAS to take over or they are their own demise. As far as I am seeing things progress I'm positive. Much more positive than for steem for sure. There is nothing left here.
