RE: DON'T LET GREED DESTROY STEEMIT

in #steemit7 years ago

This is a fatal flaw of the platform unless it's addressed. It was even forewarned in the Steem White Paper. Consequently, one would imagine that proposals such as the one's you're making would be implemented sooner rather then later.

"Steem is designed around a relatively simple concept: everyone’s meaningful contribution to the community should be recognized for the value it adds. When people are recognized for their meaningful contributions, they continue contributing and the community grows. Any imbalance in the give and take within a community is unsustainable. Eventually the givers grow tired of supporting the takers and disengage from the community."

Sort:  

I absolutely agree. Well said @syncubate. The people that run Steemit are smart enough to recognise the damage that rewarding the wrong content will have for the future of this platform. People want something that is fair. If it is not, they will leave.

I do hope that someone with prevailing influence takes these sorts of suggestions to heart, because unless it's addressed, the broad adoption of this blockchain will be set back. Steem extends beyond Steemit now, but Steemit remains as its initial proof of concept and it should be adapting for the better rather than stagnating via an acceptance of the status quo. In doing so, it would set a constructive example for other applications that are built on the blockchain as well.
