RE: Whatever: If This Hardfork Fucks Me Over As A Content Producer...
I honestly just developed a bit of an indifference to the site politics, a defense mechanism that allowed me to stick around through it all. It was just too draining to keep up the fight, which I know is what caused your long breaks and totally understand. In your case you have extremely intelligent and insightful things to say in regards to all of it so not speaking up would have to be a lot harder for you than me. I took to just watching from the sidelines and only really interacting with the people I love here and cool newbies I'd meet from time to time. Obviously I also cashed out much of my steem, though it didn't really have to do with what was going on here, there were just a few financial hardships in the past year unfortunately. If this hardfork actually does change things for the better and the price rises and there's new excitement and an influx of people, well I built up my sp before, I can do it again.
I only wrote this one to point fingers at those who like to point fingers and place blame on everything and everyone else for their own decisions. People are free to make decisions. The loud ones pretending to stand up for the little guy, all while not being able to do anything to actually help the little guy; I thought maybe it's time to address that. We can empower ourselves and be the change we want to see. You sold your SP, and I only have 26000, so I certainly can't change the world either. Teamwork though. That's where it's at. Fighting, creating division, scaring people; that's what the loud minority presenting themselves as saviors of the little guy are doing. I'm rambling.
