Yeah...I'm not sure why that's so hard to grasp.

Just read the post you're commenting on and you'll understand what I mean. The whole ad system would be designed as optional from the drawing board. I don't like ads any more than you do, trust me.

I'm not in sales or marketing. I'm saying I don't like ads anymore than you do, yet I see the value of the proposition here. I've seen how Reddit has done their advertising and could welcome the same here as it isn't in your face, like you're so afraid of. It can be done the right way but you think it'll just lead to worse.
We have witnesses that can reject bad hardforks, no? Have trust in them.

I've never been on Redditt
I do, however have over a half century
of experience
enduring Ads.
the start off 'tasteful'

they always get worse.
I trust the witnesses I vote for.

The ads here would be in the form of posts. You can view them or not. You can opt out of seeing them entirely. You can mute the advertising accounts if you want. This was in the post. If you don't like ads, you'd have the option to not view them.
Your fears are irrational.
If different advertising is adopted by Steemit, Inc. or other interface owners, then there's nothing you can do about it anyway. If you want to address a specific issue that I mentioned in the post, then feel free to do so. But so far, you're commenting on some perceived problems that wouldn't exist with my suggestions.

Also to add, I understand your concern. I, for some reason, trust that our witnesses and community can keep the camel outside the tent. Maybe Steem token will retain its value without this proposition implemented, I'd be quite happy with that.

do you use all of your 30 witness votes?
Have you researched each and everyone of those whom you vote for?
do you know what they think?

I have only used three. My 4th will be ats-david.
But the people who are in top 20 witnesses aren't new to crypto. I've gotten impression that majority comes from bitshares and shares the views that are common in the whole cryptofield. Regular average Joe haven't had any clue or known even a need for crypto, but these guys have been in the space for many years.
How many witnesses have you voted for? I could use my open slots if you have good suggestions.

Yep, things don't change. They never do. We as community make decisions here, why not just stick with "tasteful" and optional.
We've both made our points clear, good talk.

I just can't help but worry more of the situation that we are in right now (no revenue) rather than of a situation we somehow could end up with (witnesses and community approving in your face marketing).

I hope you're right, I'd rather be safe than sorry however. I'd like to see Steemit around and popular still after 10 years, is that greed?

Ooooh...I suppose you didn't actually read the post and what was actually proposed for advertising on the blockchain?
You didn't read enough to say anything relevant. Maybe try reading the post first, then you won't be arguing against things that weren't proposed.

I'd like to hear @ned 's opinion on this. You should try to make sure this idea of yours is heard by the right people. How do you feel about community tokens by the way?

I told @ned about it. He said he has been busy.
I'm not a fan of UIAs for Steem. I think there are better things to focus on for this blockchain. It cannot be all things for all people. Better to excel at the job it was designed to do, in my opinion.

I share the same feeling for now. Hopefully we are both proven wrong as more information comes. I'd rather see this implemented first.

It's the same issue that Reddit has. Most just read the header, not the actual content linked/written, yet comment with lacking information. It will just get more common here with time.
