RE: The Heck is going on with Steem?
I have to say, this is probably one of the most disheartening posts I've read in a long time with regard to Steem. That is some 15 year old just discovering Ayn Rand level shitty logic. If that's the logic guiding this place then I have my doubts for the future of this place.
Sorry not sure what you are referring to, could you please be a bit clearer? What exactly is comparable to "Ayn Rand level shitty logic" ?
Sorry, I hope you don't think I meant you (your post was rather enlightening).
The excerpt from the white paper you highlighted is just dumbfounding. Essentially chaotic neutral thinking at its worst. It basically says they don't care about the quality of actions here, so long as there are actions to drive the chain. It seems to say as long as your means of generating rewards for yourself don't break the mostly non-existant rules, then all methods are acceptable.
I get they want to be decentralized and uncensored and let the "market" decide what is valuable and not valuable content. However they have completely underestimated most people's desire for short-term profiteering and rent-seeking. There's a small but sizable portion of people here who are trying to create and grow something of value here, and a host of others in it just to get paid as much as possible in as short a time as they can. Unfortuntely the latter group is going to burn whatever real value the first group creates.
Spot on.
I can't believe you work in a helpdesk, Pang Tong ! The Liu Beis of this world don't know what they are missing !
That's unfettered Capitalism for you!
