RE: Help Test Hardfork 21!
"Unveliebeble," or whatever, indeed! I'm just playing... wanted to start out with a joke.
You don't listen to the voice of the community
Actually, many of the ideas contained within this hardfork come from the community, we just don't all agree on everything.
COME ON! Do you think we are stupid?
I doubt they think we're all stupid. Some of the hysteria I'm seeing as of late looks kind of silly but I'm not interested in calling people names like, silly heads, or something that starts with f combined with heads. That's an odd question though. Most professionals, even if they did think people were stupid, probably wouldn't say, "Yes."
But now, I consider myself completely out of Steem, because the only thing that witnesses and Steemit Inc do, is go against what the community wants.
I assume the community would prefer people stick around, especially through hard(fork) times. I know I don't like seeing so many of you freak out and have your I'm leaving party. It's unfashionable to quit, regardless of what you think everyone else is doing. What's left after all this madness are the tough ones willing to help build a strong foundation, which helps when it comes to community building. I'm both a content creator and curator. I plan to stick around to see what happens. I actually want to see what it's like having more people step up to the plate and help out around here. I want to see if they'll actually do it. The success of these changes depends on the community, so if all fails, at least we can stop yelling at a few people working for Steemit, and start pointing those fingers at ourselves. That'll be interesting to watch.
The content creator that keeps publishing, is not going to say this, because they would lose votes.
That was kinda low. If you think I support some of these changes just for votes, you're insulting my integrity, and I can't say I appreciate that. I've been here for nearly three years and never once gave a crap if I lost votes over something I said, and I've said some cuh-razy shit. And I've also been a really nice guy! ... but not for votes. What the hell do you think we are here?
take earnings from the content creators.
No matter what percentage is taken away, I'll still get 100% of what's mine.
What investors are going to come, if this platform no longer has content to be voted on?
They can vote for my stuff. I won't mind. Read this when you get a chance:

It'll blow your mind.
it hurts me to write this
I honestly appreciate your honesty. You're passionate. That's a good sign. You have no idea if you're right or wrong, just like I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but you say it anyway, because that's how you feel.
despise human beings who have power here.
Aww, and now you broke my heart. Is 26000 SP too much to be your friend? I can change!
Just messing around again.
I hope I'm wrong and can return at some point, but I see it impossible.
Just take a break, quietly. I've watched so many of you folks blow a fuse. What's worse? The hardfork, or this irrational reaction to something that hasn't even happened yet?
So many are throwing this Greed word around. Who's going to look greedy after saying, "I QUIT! You're all greedy!" Then some time passes, the smoke clears, the dust settles, people are earning again, doing well, and those who said everyone is greedy suddenly show up again to start earning some money...
Anyway. Good luck to you! See you after the hardfork. ;)
Thanks for saving me time by writing this. Here's an upvote.

@nonameslefttouse
I actually cringed at this, because I think it’s was fairly obvious that @tincho wasn’t singling you out, so, your integrity still remains intact.
I love Steemit, it has literally given me a new life, in another country with the girl of my dreams, so, I’ll be forever grateful, but it is too hard to watch what is happening here. So, every few months when I feel so nostalgic that I click my Steemit bookmark, I have to quickly avert my eyes, so I don’t get depressed.
There is a level of honesty that is lacking on Steemit and everyone knows it, most of us censor ourselves or we run the risk others censoring us with flags. Steemit should be a killer app, it has the reward pool that opens up cryptos to everyone, so why are people leaving?
The reward pool has been hijacked by vote bots that are funded by the largest investors in the platform and this is reflected on the trending page. It’s like watching the captain of the Titanic as he sells off all the life boats and then then begins stripping the steel sides of the ship to sell to pirates, while in the middle of the Atlantic. It’s absolutely insane and gut wrenching to watch, so, I rarely click the Steemit bookmark anymore.
Anyways, good luck with HF21, I hope it's a good one.
Obviously I knew he wasn't singling me out.
Now you're making me cringe.
You know... If you're not doing anything later... We could cringe together.
I kinda like to cringe alone. If you know what I mean.
Fine, be that way!
You'll get over it.
intriguing!
incredible!
You make a lot of really great points, @nonameslefttouse.
This, I think, is extremely important, and more emphasis should be applied to the contribution strength and perseverance have in community building.
I don't quite understand how it would be completely our fault if we have little control over the changes that are made to the blockchain? I definitely see things like Steem-Engine and front ends helping to give more power to the individuals who aren't devs of Steemit Inc or witnesses, but is it enough power to be sustainable or will it become another playground for abuse/gaming the system? I truly don't know, though I'm deeply intrigued.
Agreed completely. I'm right there with you in saying some bizarre things, heh. I have come forward (not in posts, but in other public forums) totally disagreeing with some of these changes, and argued fervently. @tincho, your passion is obvious, but don't allow it to blind you! Not everyone is silent who remains.
Damn. lol
They can hardfork the platform but can they hardfork our brains? I guess it's about taking lemons and making lemonade. I broke it down really well in this post but just know there's sometimes a difference between me talking here and me on stage. Don't let something like the title scare you away. No matter what they change, it's still up to all of us to make things work.
I see that you’re 100% against bidbots, as am I, but what is your stance on curation teams and delegating to such? I think one fix to the fork, done by the community, would be curation teams redistributing the increased curation rewards to authors. Thoughts on this?
Concentrating SP into fewer hands could lead to more rewards next to the post, but fewer eyes on the prize.
I'll often see curation teams earn far more on their daily update post which highlight what has been voted for than what the posts earn for receiving votes from said curation team. Without mentioning names, I can say there's one that'll come sprinkle many votes on my post for a total of about 20 cents. So there's many accounts without eyes, not paying much, then announcing the fact they were there, but I think it's an automated message. So in this instance if they could clean up their act and make it look like less of a ruse, I'd probably support it.
In general though, I don't have a problem with any in existence today and do respect their efforts if they're acting responsibly.
Delegation, in general, I'm not a fan of. I can see it being beneficial to large stakeholders but when I'm seeing small accounts all concentrating wealth into fewer hands, we then lose our market. I'd sooner perform in front of a sold out theater rather than in front of a table of representatives.
It's funny how it's the ones that have been afk for most of the bear market making the most noise, lol.
Many of the most frustrated seem to be parroting. It would be difficult to understand the entire scope if one hasn't been around to experience first the problems, then the steps leading up to all of this. I was gone for awhile but nothing had changed when I got back, except it was a lot quieter around here. I think I mainly missed the talking in circles part.
Very talented discourse... Thanks for a pivotal moment to just keep Steeming Forward!
nobody even cares about this imaginary hf! wtf is taking it so long?
