Well who cares about real interaction anyway. Steem is all about the dash for cash now. I have stopped downvoting, so you need not fear me. I am powering down to invest in Hive. I am sure Justin will bless your efforts.
Let's see where Steem is in a year...
Most old witnesses (those moving to HIVE) are powering down see this: https://steemyy.com/witness-ranking/ . For them, you are right about dash for cash. But there are people (like me), who do still care about STEEM.
It's not as simple as just looking at what witnesses are powering down though. Some power down only a fraction of their rewards to cover server costs, others power down to distribute it to a team of people that run a witness together.
For almost 2 years of running a witness and having a delegation, our steempress account was powering down, but I was powering up 100% of all rewards from early 2018 to early 2020, not selling a single token since Jan 2018. But if someone just looked at the witness list, they would think that we were powering down, while in fact, I was the only person receiving a steemit delegation who powered up 100% between 2018 and 2020.
Glad to hear! Hope to see you at the next witness forum ig we are to succeed, we have to start a conversation and work together.
From what I can see trending is dominated by people buying votes. Haejin and crystalliu self-vote with impunity. I see you support kingscrown who has milled more Steem than anyone. Is posting a music video worth $14? You cannot keep blaming the old witnesses. Their influence is shrinking each week.
When will you unfreeze the funds of former witnesses and investors? Justin and others said this was immoral or illegal. Censoring their posts shows a lack of desire for free speech.
Sorry, but Steem looks less and less attractive.
Sorry that you see it this way. I don't disagree that there are problems. In the old days, it is quite common that some witness posted a Meme and got upvoted to more than $50, so is it worth it?
Regarding the censorship, I think it is sometime necessary, especially for comment-spamming, hatred speaking..
Doing things because others got away with them before is a poor excuse. Why not give your votes to new people who do something creative? That may encourage them to stick around.
Is someone checking that every censored post and comment breaches the terms of service?
Peace
I did.
Good for people to split completely according to their will. That's the spirit of hard fork!
