Would I immediately stop an activity and no longer curate
Here is what I actually wrote as a comment ....
The worst thing that could have happened to Steem was the beginning of the curation of SC accounts. Individuals, actually always the same ones, get votes in an amount that others don't get in the whole month. Why should Otto normal with an account like mine, for example, curate at all, since most of them are just horny for the fat votes anyway.
Then there is the support of a few communities, and here, too, disgustingly high votes were and are always given to the same people. And here you see that decisions are only made on the basis of sympathy and not on the basis of content.
Originally, the person behind SC01 was the managing director of Steemit inc and also had the advertising under him at times. Today it looks like there are zero promotions for Steem - not a cent is spent on advertising and if it is really true that half a million US $ is spent on the development of Steem, it is incomprehensible to me why external programming companies are not commissioned. With this amount of money, one can buy a few thousand hours of programming and bring the whole system up to date and also create new possibilities and dApps. In a few weeks, Steem would again be ahead of HIVE. But since it seems to me that there are no more structures or even real decision-makers, it will all remain an illusion that anything will change.
If Steemit inc. should really still exist as a company, which I doubt, because according to the company's house art it is no longer the case, contact persons should finally be named again, with the possibility of reaching them. Every company, but really every company, must have named representatives and employees with whom one can make contact and also submit proposals.
and why should Otto Normal burn Steem? if I remember correctly, there are over 60 million Steem in the hands of (former) Stinc - if you wanted to, you could implement it there - but in my eyes this would be useless or only temporary. see Luna, who also tried it.
The share price will rise when Steem becomes interesting again for investors, but also for bloggers. This will only happen if it finally becomes transparent who owns Steemit inc., who is in charge there and who is employed there at all. This also includes balance sheets. Finally spending money on real development and not again such half-measures as I can observe. Put a not too small budget into advertising.
Stop with the Steem exclusive bullshit. No one will publish exclusively on this platform if they want to reach everyone or share. A readership in the German-speaking area of 10 at most 20 people, normally more like 3-5 or internationally maybe 50-100 is ridiculous. I reach up to 50,000 people a day in my community and can make a difference there, but that is not and will never be possible here on Steem. So everyone should post their content on as many platforms as they want. But this is no longer done, as you can see - because the extreme votes from the SC account for the tag #steemexlusiv result in high votes, others simply leave the platform completely. This and the community structures are the reason why I no longer advertise this platform.
SC01 should concentrate on the actual task again, namely the further development of the chain, the frontend of Stinc and also place advertising again, but certainly not cure it. Then I'll be happy to take an active part again and I'll certainly make sure there are new members. But if things continue like this, I'll be gone if the share price reaches 50 cents again. Until then, I'll leave everyone at upvu, too.

Delegation of steem power is also largely to blame for the same accounts receiving massive votes. Huge amounts of steem power are concentrated in a few accounts, to which a lot is delegated. In turn, these sell there votes, and pay returns to the delegates, which are hard to obtain when voting for yourself.
On top of that, deciding for yourself what to vote on, is a losing proposition, since the algorithm favours voting on content which will acquire a lot of (valuable) votes, so even when I vote myself, it is best to vote on one of the accounts which will receive a vote from one of these massive accounts.
End delegation, and votes will be much more spread around the many different content creators on this platform, rather than sucked up into some of the most meaningless repetitive low effort posts which we see reaching 100$+ valuations every day...

No, I will not start curating again and leave everything as it is. I used to be very active on Steem and have my own curation account behind which people stood and not a bot. But the way Steem has developed - also because of Stinc I will no longer be active here and as soon as the course has recovered I will leave the platform.
One could have easily prevented this, that one can delegate a lot to a single account or also prevent any bot. This was not wanted and is now no longer possible, since the owners themselves work as witnesses in the top 20. There is no majority of 17 votes that would allow a corresponding update.

The mistake of many whales is that they have delegated their SP to upvu boosters, tipu and others.
SP is the most valuable resource on Steemit. SC01 is just an example of how much you can get Steem through content curation.
You could manage your SP very effectively, receiving both author and curator rewards, but you delegated SP to the booster that receive your profits, unfortunately.

I've been around for a while now. And the reason I haven't deleted a real Kutaroren account that Steem members can use is because Steem has changed miserably. When Sun bought in here, I thought everything was getting better, stood by Steem and even got banned from Hive AirDrop. But everything has only gotten worse. Stagnation at all levels is what you see in the course. And in the past there was no curation by Stinc and the C accounts were only founded after the takeover, because SC01 was the managing director at Steemit inc. These high votes always to the same people have led to the fact that there is only envy and resentment and everyone wants to be popular at SC and no one tells the truth anymore, because they don't want to make things worse. Look at the vote stats for the last 6 months from the SC accounts - always the same ones getting rewarded. It's too stupid for me and I just bridge the time until the price recovers and then leave Steem like many others. Then there will be a huge flight of capital and the share price will go completely into the basement. Because there are no innovations, changes or improvements in sight. If something changes, I'll consider it and maybe become active again and use my reach with several hundred thousand members in my Facebook groups to advertise again. But I won't do it the way it is now.

Hello @greece-lover
May I call you my militia partner? because we have a few years living in this ecosystem so particular and unprecedented in the world.
I respect you very much because you are a gentleman with experience and understanding of what is being lived here; however I continue to project steem and steemit as a decentralized blockchain in which the creator of exclusive and quality content is our greatest capital, the human capital of steemit, those few who are still left, the witness, developers, artists, scientists, and bohemians like me, we are still to save and rescue what is really praiseworthy, pure, worthy and sublime of this life.
I really appreciate your sensitive publication, your 100% honest words, all the effort and courage you have put into every comment you make to the content creators; every block we create in this chain is an important pluss that adds up.
Let's get to work, do our role as committed investors betting on the goodwill and growth of this great blockchain; let's hope that the curators take into account the best suggestions and we can build together a better place to coexist, be we from America, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Europe.... Whether we are white, black, indigenous, mestizo, ..... we all want to see Steemit as a safe place to be and leave our mark on life.
I greet you fraternally from the beautiful Argentina, from the south of the world, to your country, the cradle of knowledge and wisdom.
With love, @graceleon humble servant of RECREATIVE STEEM

Steem is not as decentralized as many believe. As we saw with the Sun takeover, 2-3 years ago assets worth several hundred thousand US $ were simply seized from accounts and accounts were played at chain level. The Stemit inc. accounts were immediately able to reinstate the top 17 witnesses that the chain could be updated. So, this has nothing to do with decentralization. But it's the same with HIVE.
I can't find any high quality unique content on Steem either. A few contributions - and those are the ones that are not honored.
If Chain were new, I would say OK, it all takes time to establish a system. But the Steem has been around for almost 6 years. And for 34 years absolutely nothing has happened. No innovations, the smart contracts promised years ago, will never come. It was announced a few months ago that half a million are now available. But no external programmers are commissioned to develop new ones. Who actually gets the money? Where is an advertising budget - that steem can be made more popular again? I have ideas, through the network I founded, over 200,000 members, where there would be graphic designers, copywriters and advertising specialists. My son is a top programmer and has already programmed many things for the Chain - even his own game. He has never received any support and has left Steem because no one works for free - but that is partly what we expect here. And a few votes now and then are not enough to reward the effort. My groups have up to 1000 new members a day on Facebook and my reach is over 50,000 real readers. There has been coverage of me and my activities on TV, on the radio, in the print media more than once. Within a month, I have created an advertising company that would lead real members to Steem. And for little money. You don't have a contact person and so you can't submit anything. If you publish something here on the chain, they tell you to pass it on. But there is no one to whom anything is passed on because in my opinion there are no real employees and above all decision-makers at Stinc anymore. Should anything really change in the next few weeks, I would be happy to become really active again and also to advertise for Steem.
Hope dies last - maybe there will be a takeover after all and something will really change.
