I'm writing this on Busy, as I much prefer its UI. I just need them to display images and GIFs and get the writing editor fixed. But I like it so much, I'm still using the editor right now.
I found myself on Twitter today giving Tone Vays a hard time. He is a bit silly. Even though I was critical of Steemit in the past, I never resorted to calling it a scam. It's not a scam. A game, maybe, but not a scam. I sent Tone Vays a request to discuss Steem in one year's time. I think he agreed to that. Here's his latest responses to me on Twitter:
At any rate, I'm now asking the Steemit community for help in deciding what to do for the next Steemicide Hotline episode. Tone Vays seems like a good one to impersonate, what do you think? I'm thinking of cutting off my hair, so this would give me a good reason to do so.
What account/person/plot would you like to see in the next episode of Steemicide Hotline?
Here are some ideas I had in mind:
Tone Vays Vs. Dan
Busy Meets Steemit at a bar
@asshole self-destructs and restores peace to Steemitsville
{Your Ideas Here}
Have the Steemicide numbers gone down recently?
It certainly feels that way, but I'm not sure.
I don't know about you, but I drank about 5 gallons of Steem Kool-Aid recently, and I'm seeing pink unicorns and rainbows everywhere.
It's causing me to write lengthy Medium articles expounding on the multi-threaded benefits of using the Steem blockchain. I think that Kool-Aid was laced with highly energized busy bees who deposited some mysterious honey in it.
I guess my mania has returned. THANK DOG.
I will leave you with one of my latest videos that shows @dantheman spinning his magic Steem Tag Trendolizer:
I need a job on answering those hotlines

I think you should set up a roundtable discussion IRL with Tone and 1 other Steemit detractor of his choosing vs. @ned and @dan / @dantheman
and if that goes well, or not well, it turns into a cage match for #Liberty.

I understand Tone Vays view. I see ETC as a scam, as it's only supported by bitcoin maximalists and the DAO thief. I guess this merry group also contains people that think blockchain shouldn't be changed ever, under any circumstances and to me, that's just foolish. Especially considering the state ETH still is in. Many wouldn't agree with me on this view though.
And when he talks about Steemit being a scam, I think the issue is how the mining process in the start happened and how the wealth is mostly in the hands of very few and not really being distributed good enough. Also there might be issue with how the witnesses were for the most part from bitshare, a Dan's previous project.
Maybe our views will change with coming years though.

Since you used the busy editor. This is just a side suggestion. Perhaps, you can add this to your list. Something about where the messages on busy.org go to and especially when you send a message to a tag. . . I found myself clicking on a tag on busy and sending a message to it. I wonder where that message goes to. Plus, even messages to individuals, I don't know if those go to either. I just wonder but especially messages sent to a tag on busy.org

actually, those are chat channels that are defined by tags. So, let's say you're really into anarchy, you can open up the chat messaging and talk to others who are also really into anarchy.

It seems like Steemicides come in waves, as folks confront change that happens too fast - or too slow - or in ways that don't go with their views.

It seems like there's been, at least, confusion about potential cross-purposes or behavior, about some guilds. Whether curie, steemtrail, steemvoter, steemguild, or others. Which guild finds the better posts? Which guild is self-dealing? Which Which guild promotes Steemit better? Which distributes the Steem better? Those are the questions that would get folks' interest.
Of course, the fun questions are different -- Which guild spends the most time and effort deciding about what a post should get? Which guild has a theme song? A mascot? ; )

I think we understand more about that from posts over the last few days. This platform is so interesting - in part because people do talk about what's going on behind the scenes, with evidence from the block-chain. That's part of what keeps me here on Steemit. Something new is developing and people are figuring out how to deal with it. That's always been happening in the corporate offices, not out in the open. That's progress!
