Thanks! Helps put it into more context that the whale who is upvoting haejin got his steem the way he did, though I still think this is bigger than just him and it's there's a sort of tendency to make a lot of money without much content just because you're a big name and people wanna be the "first" to comment and vote and all that stuff.. Whether wrong or right or haejin or someone else.. I do think there appears to be a way in which a lot of people are making way more off of lazy content than they should be compared to the people who put in a lot of work and get mostly ignored. If we could somehow raise all boats instead of just the "elite" boats that would be great, but it's unlikely in my opinion.
A good place to begin with would have been a more "Natural" economic system. In other words, STEEM coming from content instead of the few who were luck enough to plug their computers into the network and generate STEEM artificially.
I'll make a deal with you, let's promise to let the other one know when a Decent replacement comes along next... Sound good?
I agree. For such an anarchist/libertarian feel, it seems like there shoulda been more fairness considered in some of these things, especially pre mining.
I wouldn't mind starting back at zero if everyone else did. I think that'd be awesome. Heh. But I doubt that will happen!
And yeah. You know what. Sure.. I'll take that deal.
minds is coming out with a coin soon or maybe they already did, and they claim they are going to try to be less centralized in the future and are working towards it. So that maybe a possibility. There's also the sola ai one, but I haven't even bothered to sign up cause I couldn't find a single YouTube video reviewing it other than papa-pepper's.. Something doesn't feel right about that one.
Anyways.. Yeah.. I'm going to try to keep my eye out for any new ones that may be competitors, I think that would be wise for numerous reasons. Even just as a bare minimum for the way I got involved in steemit. Curiosity and wanting to get my artwork and thoughts out more. Even if I never make a penny off of steemit, it was worth the ride! Has been a fascinating adventure.
