RE: The Death Of Steemit Grows Nigh
The system is completely broke, your article and the first comment hits the nail on the head.
But the additional problem is that Steem isnt an FB replacement. Here on the old boy Steem network there is very little other than Crypto postsm holiday snaps, art and writing. Very few niche interests and hobbies are covered. This is like a private members club, and why would they want new members posting stuff about stamp collections or antique hairdryers when all the old timers are sat on masses of easily convertable steem. The first out of the door will be the whales and dolphins with their millions.
If you dont fit in here to a certain political or libertarian box, youre nothing. This is why the platform is screwed because on one embraces difference.
and Ive just read youre a witness in the other post. For this one article you get my vote.
I appreciate your veiw point on this, it has much merit and is pretty accurate with the current sttus of this, a beta interface. Many changes need to be made. Theundrlying blockchain needs vast upgrades and some major tuning in the area of the use of ram on the witness and RPC servers. It is a pretty expensive endevour to do this on your won hardware. A full RPC node can cost over $6,000 in RAM alone.
Your vote for my witness is also very much appreciated.
