RE: Upcoming changes to MinnowBooster - 🔥 BURN PROMOTION SERVICE! 🔥
The problem is there has been a period of abundance over the last years, especially with bot voting, the community landed up taking advantage of the abundance and engaged in practices like self-voting and extracting as much rewards as possible and leaving being not much value.
Steem because known for a place where bidbots are rampant and the sell pressure of everyone earning rewards and selling is not a sustainable model for investors so the price declined.
Those are the main highlights, I do agree with you in principle that distribution is important but we also need better retention strategies and onboarding funnels, no good handing out coin for people to just dump if they find Steem too complicated or uninteresting.
I think I agree with you regarding the bid bots. I am not a fan of them in any shape or forms.
With regard to retention strategies, it became clear to me very early on that this is not necessarily a good investment of resources. For the simple reason that the one controlling the largest Stake operates under a very narrow view of what he thinks Steemit should be.
I see different uses for Steem and the platform. I see it as the ideal structure for creating gift economies within physical communities. There is a big market for attracting investors who would love to invest in something that will make a real world difference in peoples lives without burning lots of capitol.
People are self organizing systems. All we are ever doing is trying to meet our needs. So our role is to find out what those needs are and support agreeable methods for them meeting those needs.
However, the preferred moderation of behavior tool here on Steemit is the Flag. I see far to many instances of abusing users with this very blunt instrument which should only be used as a last resort imho.
I see you have a negative 2 reputation, you must have been flagged alot?
Well I say how I see it.
And who knows, eventually sanity may prevail.
Here is an idea. Why not have the largest account holders give @ecoalex loads of votes thousands of dollars worth so he can do more projects and build a solid team.
Not sure about the ecotrain, it feels odd to me but those homes he builds are good. We need more of them
Indeed. He has now become a non-person on the platform and can be safely ignored.
Get used to it because opinion flags will be the tool for censorship of dissent going forward.
