Im going to keep this brief. Every once in a while someone comes up with a "big" idea and they present it. It doesnt matter if that idea is horrendously stupid, it doesnt matter if the outcome of implementing that idea completely counters the initial hopes stemming from the proposal.
All that matters is who said it.
And that is fucking scary even though i knew this before i started up here.
I can say that this type of mob behavior stems from crypto being a "WILD WEST" or sorts, but the truth of the matter is that it all goes back to basic human behavior..
We just love the "cult of personality".
What this means is that the community isnt able to discern smart ideas from stupid ones. They value opinions based on standing in the community, or SP, or reputation ,or some other metric that has nothing to do with the value of the actual idea..
Willingness to accept arguments based on their merit is a distant thought.
If im being honest, its the same thing as in real life.
The bandwagon has arrived.The loudest community members (curators) are pushing their agenda, the leeches are staying quiet because this wont affect them in any way whatsoever .... and then you have the very "stupid" ones who cast their vote based on what is best for the platform.
They get screwed the most because there dont really subscribe to any Steem interest group.
Fuck them! They think for themselves, we dont need folks like that, theres still room on my bandwagon.
A few thoughts as always. hehe If you think im wrong, please feel free to counter anything ive said.
... and ill see you around.
Keep on!. :D
Posted from my blog with SteemPress : https://scrips.io/blog/lordbutterfly/the-50-50-curator-author-split-is-a-thing-again/
There's not one thing to counter because all you've done is said a bunch of nonsensical bullshit.
You don't want to have a discussion, you don't want to because you diminished any kind of sensible response by arguing that 50/50 is a matter of flocking to the popular kids. So what is there to argue with your insipid opinion? You can have your opinion but you cannot formulate a sensible response and you are the hypocrisy of preaching to the crowd because by and large the sentiment has been as it is today that 50/50 split is a horrendous idea, so keep playing to the platitudes of numerous people that haven't considered the proposal more than 5 seconds and recoiled from the thought that they'd "earn less" without examining all the implications of the proposal.
You literally called the idea without any merit without even a reason to back it up. The idea has absolutely nothing to do with "who said it". That is exemplified by the fact that numerous people Have put it forward and they have all had exemplary reputations in the community, but it did not matter because the reactionary response was as it is today to diminish it to one singular outcome of "mah payouts are cut in half" which some truly believe, showing that they either do not understand that the difference between 75% to 50% is exactly 33% or that they did not consider the proposal for even one moment. The other reactive responses fall into "the bots are going to get more pie" which doesn't consider that a greater incentive (100% greater) to curate means people will likely be spreading their votes more as they get a better return (like Smoke.io) and if they don't think it means more for the bots they are perplexed to give up a potential 33% of the payout as if they are getting absolutely nothing besides losing payout with the proposal.
The worst part is that everyone should embrace it Simply because sometimes it's good to try something. Nah, hunker down in your little selfish Mah Payout camp and enjoy the statis, after all, everything is fine, right.

Sad... Very sad.
But ill bite.
Ive been discussing this proposal from day one it was thought up. Ive written posts about this months back when this was a much bigger thing. Ive discussed it in depth in hundreds of comments. The fact i decided to voice my opinion in a shortened version, without going in depth on every single possible outcome of the proposal is because i dont care enough to repeat the same thing over and over again.
All i will say is that this proposal is remarkably idiotic. Its currently the stupidest idea with the biggest support on STEEM. Its so idiotic it would most likely lead to complete crumbling of the STEEM ecosystem. It would run off content creators, it would destroy beneficiary fee run front ends.
I called for anyone to say why they think this is a good idea. What you did is write a toxic comment with absolutely no substance.
What you wrote is literal bullshit. haha. Since im used to non responses and agenda driven discussion in this case its not surprising. :)

There is nothing toxic about my comment. Not only that, you resorted to repeating the same idiotic opinion without any kind of substance. There's no reason why the 50/50 split works well for Smoke but is horrendous / devastating for steem. There's no reason. Keep spreading your bullshit that this is about popularity when in the past despite the support of popular people on the platform, it gained no traction. And keep saying that me pointing out that there's nothing as far as "discussion" that you wanted is toxic as if it's not clear as day by your lack of reasoning or sense. You could have voiced a million reasons why it's idiotic in the past but you won't be bothered to voice it again, as if it takes a novel to spell out one reason. Yeah sure it will chase content creators away, as if you could explain it besides diminishing the proposal to "it takes payout from content creation" and do so while you literally said in the other thread that you would be for the alternative of using a portion of the reward for content creation to rather fund development.

Your comment was toxic and you come of as a frustrated individual. I have no intention in discussing anything with you.
Have a good day sir. ;)

Keep repeating the same nonsense without indication of anything to support it and making excuses for your words, who cares that you wrote hundreds of comments calling it idiotic or whatever, not one reason was given here and that's all that matters, not your excuses for not giving a reason. And call me no responsive as you literally avoided discussing it even when confronted that you hadn't any reason to discuss the proposal and were challenged to offer something of substance instead of excuses. You can have your opinion, like I said, but you cannot reason it well, not at all, like I said. Tone policing/calling me frustrated while your post and subsequent response is epically "frustrated" that you haven't said ANYTHING of substance, classic hypocrite.

Whatever man.... I dont shy away from discussion. I simply avoid emotionally driven ramblings of which you are glaringly guilty of.
Next time when you come into someones post and call everything they wrote "bullshit" dont expect any other response.

So you wave away my entire comment with whatever and acuse me of "emotional driven ramblings", another nonsensical thing just like the first "toxic" accusation and the subsequent one about my frustration. I don't expect anything, did I say anything about expecting anything? Not only did I not talk about your feelers at all but I asked you repeatedly what reasons you have to sustain your position and you only made excuses and diverted the conversation to accusations and nonsense about me. You accused me of speaking nonses and being non responsive even though I address your sole reason/remark about this being something to do with popularity. You, "sire" are guilty of pandering to the popular and "fad", none else, you are guilty of nonsense by the fact that you gave no reason for your opinion and even more because you tried to excuse the nonsense, you sir are guilty of penning frustrated and nonsensical emotional ramblings as you repeatedly offered no substance and resorted to baseless accusations on my Tone, which has apparently 'hurt' your feelers.

Could be very well compared with the Brexit. The most popular opinion full of false information won. Now that the Brexit should have been a fact even politicians are running away from it!
This would be more or less the same. It would scare away some writers who are already having a hard time to build a decent steem account!
It would kill the bid bot economy. Not that this would be a bad side effect!
It would make it even harder for red fishes to earn some curation! Whales could create multiple accounts spread the SP they have and easily triple the amount of curation reward area!
So I am with you!
But the dapps will be more important than the blogging part a year from now!
Cheers,
Petet
