Open Letter to all Steemians - Hardfork 21: Culture Change

Also I haven't really gotten a good response to "rewarding comments will become a thing of the past"

It seems important to me. Am I wrong?

    I don't know.

    Whether you/we like it or not, Steem is a stake based system. The largest stakeholders are going to have the most influence over what gets rewarded. Historically we have not done a good job at getting the large stakeholders (who's votes matter most) to pay attention to "the little guy".

    One of the main goals of HF21 is to get the more larger stakeholders actively participating in curation. Whether they decide to curate posts or comments or both remains to be seen. I know in the past, @blocktrades has done a lot of comment curating.

      The corollary is also true:

      Those who have focused more on doing what's best for the platform and less on ROI therefore have smaller stakes, so we're taking power away from them.

        You can frame it however you want. At the end of the day, there are very few (if any) minnows on the platform right now earning enough rewards to make it worth their time to contribute. You can fight to keep the status quo - which already sucks for minnows, or you can get behind a change that has the potential to make things better.

          Not to be snarky, but one could rephrase this to say

          Historically, the largest stakeholders have demonstrated their unwillingness to do what's best for the platform, so we've decided to give them more power.
