RE: Response To @papa-pepper Post About Haejin Reward Pool Rape “OPEN LETTER TO STEEMIT INC., THE WITNESSES, AND THE WHALES"
Hi @quinneaker, I enjoyed reading your post and also I went through all the comments. I love your sincerity in tackling this issue.
I am not sure if there can be any solution to this haejin issue. But I have a mantra which is, nothing is impossible. So, sooner or later, their might be a good solution to the reward pool rape.
What most people see steemit as is that garden of Eden where everything and everyone is perfect. Everyone is looking out for each other and also, everyone cares for everyone. But the truth of the matter is, nobody cares.
Steemit is like real world. Shit happens and if you are influential, you get easily get away with it. It is no different here. If anyone thinks they can make that utopia happen, they should not bother wasting precious time.
Like @swissclive mentioned in her comment that there are:
- Genuine bloggers
- Curators
- Authors
- Readers
- Media
- Investors
(BTW, I found this post going through his profile. It's been long he updated his blog, so I was checking up)
What we should focus on is having a form of environment that is sustainable for a longer time. Like a balance. An ecosystem which will be sustainable. The truth is that some parties will be affected. Especially we the minnows. But we are called minnows, right? That's what the big fish feeds on in the big ocean. There will still be enough of us. It's survival of the fittest.
What am I saying? Rules of "post this", "don't post that" won't work. No, not on steemit.
Steemit will soon be 1 million users, haejin is just one of the many people that will come. Some crazy rich guys will still come and do what they like. We should not see this as a battle against one person but as a battle to sustain this system.
Just my opinion the. It's a free world, I can say what I want to say.
@mr-aaron That’s a good post. There have been plenty of solutions proposed. If one or several are implemented by the developers, I hope it will be done after due debate and, if possible, in small steps.
Here’s an example of what could go wrong:
Steemit decides to allow advertising. The aim is to increase the reward pool to help minnows.
Result: The increased reward pool encourages spammers en-masse. Genuine bloggers and readers flee to find an ad-free space on another site.
Wow...thanks for your response.
Any of the solutions proposed and intended to be implemented must be done with caution. A little at a time to see how it will turn because every change now is an experiment. It can turn out well or go the other way round.
I've been thinking of what you said about increasing the curating reward. At first, I thought it was not a good idea because they curators get to take more. But thinking about it again, that may be the best solution. Who wouldn't want more money? Curating becomes more attractive, investors becomes more attracted.
This too should be done a step at a time. And also, it should be done in a way that the posts with bigger payout attract lesser curating rewards.
stay blessed
