RE: The Importance of Community in Blockchain Projects

in #steemit6 years ago

"Steemit's Content Director", huh? Does it mean you're responsible for the abhorrently low quality of the aforementioned content? No? What kind of director are you then?
And regarding hivemind, communities and SMTs... where are they!? So much talking about it and NO real results whatsoever. This place looks shittier by the day and I already consider my investment here to be one of the worst mistakes I ever made. It never stops to disappoint, really. The site is pathetic and the dev team is, too.

Sort:  

I note you express your 'investment' strategy with a generous selfvote.

This is telling. Investors seek to increase the value of the underlying vehicle they invest in. Profiteers seek to extract maximum ROI.

You're not an investor. You're a profiteer, and the sooner you and your ilk give up on Steemit the better off the platform - and the community - will be.

Go away. You can go away mad, as long as you, and all the profiteers, go away.

Let me help you decide this isn't the place for you with a little encouragement.

I don't disagree with this statement ;)

Got nothing to say to me directly, pal? Can't blame you, there seem to be no valid arguments against my statements. You know, the criticism is good as long as it doesn't fall on deaf ears. Which is the case right now, I believe. I don't care if you're an orca or whatever. If you'd prefer me to kiss your ass like the majority of the users here do to each other, you've got another thing coming.

Generous selfvote of a quarter of a dollar? The fuck you talking about? I lost more than 10000$ here already. I upvote what I want and I also downvote what I want. This place is full of shit and without selfvoting you won't be even able to disagree with me because you wouldn't even read this.
And if you imply I have nothing to add to the so-called 'value' (that solely depends on BTC price and the whale-selling rate), I suggest you proceed to my profile and take a look around. I've been upvoted by @curie more than 5 times already, not to mention many other top lists and projects. If this not a valuable input, kindly explain to me, WHAT IS?

Value is not measured in money alone. I do not seek money. The value I seek here on Steemit is far more rare and to be treasured: forthright commentary (which I grant you are providing, and why I do not downvote again).

While you may find it not credible, it is only the combination of your selfvote and scathing ad hominem attack I found worthy of my encouragement. While I'd prefer you to address the issues (which you have expanded on here a little) with less ad homina and more specific criticism and detail, I do not find your views unwelcome.

Without constructive criticism we cannot improve. I depend on it utterly. That is valuable input in this matter, IMHO. Far more valuable to me, and hopefully @andrarchy and STINC, than mere lucre. @andrarchy indicates this is so for him by declining payout.

Instead of deriding, proclaim potential improvements, or at least specifically address the problems that have caused you such ire in detail. I know @andrarchy does want to make Steem a good investment, because I have butted heads with him in the past, and I think we both gained from our considerations of each the others points.

That is a benefit people can only gain from forthright - but constructive - criticism. I am confident you can provide it. Please do!

I might appear to be rash and overly aggressive but there is no better way to provoke an actual response instead of the same copypasted bullshit that constitutes 95% of comments here. Yes, I do criticize STINC and @andrarchy personally for the lack of actual progress and too much pathos. Look at this:
https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/update-communities-hivemind
4 months ago he told us that they "will soon introduce next-generation APIs and Communities for Steem". Somehow I never noticed that happening. No Hivemind, no Communities, no SMTs, nothing!
What I did notice is that my stake is turning into dust while devs won't even scratch their asses. Look at @andrarchy, he won't even answer my comments because he's got nothing to counter my arguments with.
As a stakeholder, I have all rights to criticise that and be upset. I would go away as soon as I understood how shitty things really are, how rigged the system really is if I could only do it quicker than in 13 weeks. Now it's a disaster either way as my money is trapped here and so am I.
The idea that seemed to have so much potential now goes down the drain as whales and scammers ruin the place pushing the price down, the sheer incompetence of dev team is astonishing as well. Look at steemit, it's like a dinosaur from 90s, after years of so-called development.
A pathetic excuse for a "new-generation social network", don't you agree?
