The easy solution is to make the majority of users change their mindsets. Make them stop thinking of STEEM as a way to make money. Educating them about the original purpose of rewarding the largest number of real humans, and being generous with your own upvotes when you make a real human connection.

Rebooting your brain to make steem work again. Would you do it?

Well I have been offline or the past half a year or so, that is coming from someone that dropped pretty much everything just to be here, it truly was a spectacular place, at least for me, I'm not discounting the problems from before.

I want to bring attention to the fact that this place was vibrant with conflicting opinions, whether good or bad there was color, whether it was @krnel and @berniesanders warring, basically there was a healthy balance of discussion and argument.

There was a heart to steem, people were here to express their ideas and ideals, share and communicate, the system was always broken in the sense that the power rules, so if you didn't get the free steem the first month, shame, bow and fit in ;(

To be honest the easy solution is getting further away from my sight.

Thank you for the post and to @krnel for the resteem :)
