RE: Now we are selling witness votes?
It isn't being sold as anything, it doesn't have a marketing department.
I wasn't told it was all about writing, nor did I "hear" that.
I think what you mean is that is what you told or you heard. I understand that would be disappointing, but in a world where content holds nearly zero value, it is the token speculation that gives content it's value.
I understand though, I also was a little surprised when I joined for different reasons, but I guess after the initial surprise you just focus on what you can do and what you can change and leave the rest alone.
Oh, but it IS being sold as something. It's there on the front page before you log in.
The whole thing is evolving into at best a farce at worst a scam.
Therein lies the problem outlined in the post. Without the influence of the top 20, nothing changes on this platform, and the behaviour of people such as @jerrybanfield demonstrates clearly and consistently how that influence can and is being abused.
...it was being commented on as 'a forum where you can make money from writing'
(I'm talking about my own experience, reading online before I joined - wherever those posts/comments were, I don't remember.)
Looking at various comment over this last 12 months, I'm far from the only one who thought that, also..
I'm not complaining about the way it is, in the slightest, just pointing it out..
I just meant we have no control over what Jerry or others choose to say about the site.
I agree you aren't the only one, we had many people promoting it in various ways, but we have no ability to stop anyone from presenting it how they want.
I didn't fall for 'a Jerry' ! ..phew..
lmao
