OK, again, you're allowed to disagree with me and love it Because Technology or whatever, but that doesn't mean that I don't think it has problems and would like to see it improved. It has always been stake based voting, but I think that sucks. You can think it's lovely. People have always been unfair here, and I think that sucks. You can think it's lovely. Your opinion is your opinion and mine is mine. I am way more concerned with people escaping poverty than any other aspect. I've always known that this space was very heavy with ancaps, but I am not one and so my values and priorities are different. The tech is the means that I was hoping to be used for the ends of lifting people out of poverty. If those ends aren't met, then people using the tech to play games and not realize they're using it means very little to me.
You're allowed to think the system is great; I'm allowed to think that it's not. You can think that the community on the blogging end is irrelevant in the long run, I disagree. You can think the blogging end was all an experiment and "one trick pony" and so doesn't matter, but I think the community came and showed their dedication and then were given the shaft in repayment for their hard work.
I'll hang around to support the people I care about and the causes I care about, but from my view, things are a lot worse than they were, and a lot of our community has left our little village, and I think that's sad. If Steem wasn't serious about the "social media" aspect, then they shouldn't have touted it as such. If it was only for the techies and no one else was welcome, then "onboarding the masses" should never have been attempted. It should have been billed as "an experimental forum for blockchain enthusiasts."
