Steemit and his fight to survivesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit6 years ago

I had time that did not touch this subject and possibly was caused by fatigue to always repeat the same, without generating, even if it is minimal changes in the platform.

All this that I am going to expose, is based on my more than 3 years of experience in Steemit, it can be said that I lived his good and bad moments. I knew how to row against the current, I knew how to understand the context and give time to time. Even at some point I fought against "Powers" that did not allow constructive criticism that hated her to such an extent, that they branded you as ungrateful for only exercising my right of expression.

What do I regret? Absolutely not, I did what I thought was right for his moment, I was not interested in my personal good, but in everyone's. Yes, I know it sounds like a political discourse, but what they know me closely and with whom I shared ideas, they know that my speech was always the same. Grow together to give greater visibility to the Hispanic community.

Some evidently preferred to disqualify me for going against the system and going in favor of the one who had more power, and I don't blame them for everyone who decides what they want. But this article is not focused on that, but rather that I feel a great regret, that the potential of steemit still does not show what it is capable, what I saw when I first met him.

The platform has been declining as a result of bad decisions, bad management and little use of moments where the value of its currency reached 8 dollars. A great capital that was not taken advantage of and that is part of the problem that continues to live as a platform.

I would say that it is difficult to understand those who invest in steemit, those who have a lot of steem power. On many occasions, look with other users about how to finance projects that were beneficial for content authors, for investors and, consequently, for the platform, looking for the incentive to create original content that was only achieved here, that would help In the medium term, the platform will attract more users, showing a constant growth, where the interaction that in these times is so lacking in steemit would be very important.

Unfortunately that could never be, despite the desire we put to achieve a positive result. I will not say that we are not discouraged, because the truth is, we try and continue producing content without expecting anything in return as from the first day.

I know many who got frustrated because they didn't get results. I do not include myself because my comings and goings have been caused by the lack of clarity to write and do it as before.

I continue to criticize fiercely, the little progress, it seems that we are looking for miraculous solutions so that the platform resurfaces as what they try to do with Hard Fork 21. I really do not know if it works, because it has been a policy of improvising a lot or making decisions alone when they feel obligated instead of doing it before.

I do not say with this, that I have the solution to the problem that steemit has in the future, but I do believe that some problems that have happened could be avoided in time. If, for a long time, those responsible for steemit had had a much more direct communication with their users, that is, to listen and not to believe that we do not know it all, much less act with arrogance in a situation, which as I have been denounced for years, It can lead to this great project failing.

In conclusion, I ask once again that the Hispanic community be truly heard, where there is diversity in the management of voting power and that this is not only in a few hands, that they only use it at their convenience to indirectly force users new to be dependent on them.

Let's look for the interaction to grow, but above all we understand once and for all, that steemit will really do well, when people just depend on their good content and not speak well of such a project to vote.
