Pay to Play – The Future of Steemit

You were using my post to direct traffic toward your initiative. It was an advertisement, pure and simple. You are right: I don't see at all how it relates to the discussion at hand. It disrupts it and attempts to draw focus to your post and your blog. I have dropped links in comments before, but unless there's a clear correlation, I always ask permission first. It's just bad form, @scottiemac. Seems like you've been on the platform long enough to know this.

Ir really seems that comment should have been a post on your blog. Maybe use it as one? That way the time you spent isn't wasted.

You’re right. It should have been a post not a comment.

The reason it was a comment, originated from my initial idea of a responce.

“If the problem is that investors are here for crypto and not for content, and most active users are seeking quality content, then there needs to be a solution that enables investors to still make money, while at the same time promoting quality content.

I think investing in a bidbot seems like a shortsighted and selfish investment stratgy, when an investor could invest in steem, then delegate to a colearning account to make money, all the while encouraging students to learn about what fascinates them.

That way it’s not just about investing in extrinsic motives, it’s feeling good about the intrinsic benefits as well.”

... but since no body knows what colearning is, I felt like I would confuse people by mentioning it. Hence I had to explain what it is.

I’ve been working on how to explain this idea for weeks now, and was finally able to articulate it in my previous comment.

I was so excited, I didn’t think about wether it was the right place to say something. In my mind it was relevant. I simply forgot to connect the dots.

I apologize for the poor form.

I unflagged your comment, @scottiemac .
