I was reading some posts on Discord this morning and some of them made some sense. We all wonder why Ned and the guys that started and owns Steemit or whatever, never really gets into it when people scream at him about this and that. He does not really care Steemit is up and running and all of us little fish could leave now and he would not care he would just upvote himself and make money and then power down.
If this was not so why does he repeatedly deny witnesses access to steem slack which is mandatory for the development of things on the Steem blockchain. He no longer cares about Steemit! Steem is a pretty robust cryptocurrency now and does it really need the platform Steemit? That is why Ned and others that created this platform does not care anymore. If people leave it is not a problem for them, like I said before, they would just upvote themselves and the power down and continue to make money and have no worries then. No one to say I need this or that, no one to holler look at this person or that person and telling them they need to do something about it.
There is no need in screaming at Ned to fix something as he does not and will not care, most of the witnesses care and are trying to fix some problems but are getting stopped lots of times by Ned denying them access to something they need to do their job. Not saying all whales on Steemit do not care, as there are some that really do, most of them do not, they just upvote themselves and make themselves more accounts and just keep making more money for themselves and do not really care about us little fish at all. When was the last time a whale just came along and upvoted one of your posts? If truth be told, we are just lunch to them. I do not know much but this is what I have picked up on in the last few months. Go ask a witness what is going on and if he is a good witness he will tell you the truth. There is my rant for today!
I am not saying to quit Steemit, do not give up. I am saying make and build communities and friends and build Steemit up for ourselves and enjoy talking, sharing ideas and making connections with each other. Forget about the whales and be here for the friends and the connections you have made on Steemit. We all may be small fish now but just keep posting and curating, we all will grow and help to support each other as communities. I hope everyone has a great day/night, whatever it is in your neck of the woods. Best wishes to everyone!
Yeah, there is a lot going on in the background of steemit for sure. It's good to have some idea of it like you said so you don't put all your eggs in one basket. But, like you I think in the long run it's the community that will make it great.

The communities are where it is at. If you get lots of people that will upvote and comment in that community we could all benefit from it. I think that if the communities here did not upvote the whales, except the ones in the communities some of the whales would get the message to return favors and support us small fish more. Unless that just upvote themselves and they without a doubt do not really care.

I think I gotta disagree with this. First off, the price of steem will probably be less of value if everyone left! Also, I have heard he is working on Smart Media Tokens and such, though I dont know what steem slack is. It seems that the more people that join Steemit the less power the whales will have anyways, if you listen to taskmaster I suppose.
However I do agree with you that this place is the best for communities and idea sharing! Never before have I met people from other parts of the earth, and yet here I am meeting all sorts of interesting people I would NEVER have met before. So fuck yeah for Steemit and the small fry, soon enough there will be many dolphins to even the playing field anyways.

I do not think steem would have less value. How many new people are buying steem? I do not think very many, so how would to hurt the value of steem? Steam slack is how developers make new tools and apps for Steemit. Help witnesses make accounts for new people on Steemit. It is the backbone of Steemit. The more people join whales have less power, how do you figure that? Other than people voting on their posts, that would be the only thing keeping them from making money, not with all the bid bots they can make more than you think they can, they only really need them and their own upvote. They will always be bigger than you and I unless we have the money to buy Steem.
The communities are the best part of Steemit, just like we are doing here, sharing opinions and ideas, that is great, even if we do not agree. Steem On!

I try to post every day! Some days I do not because nothing happened to post about that day or, to be honest, was just too tired. It is in the hands of the people, So True.

If we are not upvoting each other and learning how to manipulate this thing there is no point... but i find people are more than happy to share their understanding, if you ask! Hell I have no money here, but I will! It might take time, but I will.
