RE: Steemit Update [Sep 15th, 2022]: Community Curators for October - Applications Open
If we want users to stick, stop suffocating them with unrealistic rules. Let them breathe. Old Steemit didn't have clubs or burns yet it was better than present
I think you are probably wrong here. Which rule is suffocating who here? Is it for the benefit of steemit or us individuals?. Yes you are right, old steemit didn't have rules as such but the steemit team brought up such rules to help enable sustain the price of STEEM and bet me, if this rules didn't come in play like STEEM value would have been worsened now.
In my opinion, clubs won't bring any change
It brings changes my dear
Let's take it this way, why do you actually blame steemit for all the happenings? Is this crypto fall affecting only STEEM value?. Just take a look at what's happening to BTC and other coins. My dear it's a general issue and all other coins are affected so why blame steemit team on suffocating people with rules whereas they are trying all possible means to keep the price of STEEM up which will definitely benefit me and you
But be rest assured that once crypto pick it's usual bull run, STEEM won't be left out. So let's stop complicating things and pray for the future of general crypto to pick it's usual bullish run
Again, steemit team has made it clear that useful ideas are all welcome. So I suggest we seat and think of useful ideas that will make steemit funky again rather than saying all this because it will definitely discouraged alot of Steemians which will be bad. As we speak, so many are weakened at this moment and wonder what's happening
Like I said, nobody talks here in open because of the fear of losing support. I don't blame Steemit team for introducing clubs. I know the intention was to stabilize STEEM. But things didn't turn out as we expected. Talking about powerdowns here.
My point is, it was fine till club5050. A club5050 user is less likely to powerdown and leave than a club100 user. I already explained it above why it is so.
Just forget about steemcurators for once and think again what I said.
Also, things become suffocating when a user is expected to act like an employee and that too unpaid.
Please read my comment again. I don't think I have written anything like that. Which part made you think of it? I will clarify.
I think I just gave some ideas how Steemit could be improved. I agree that community should come up with new initiatives and depend less on the team. But there are some areas like development and marketing which need the attention of Steemit Inc.
Why shouldn't I say all this and how is it discouraging? I thought I only discussed some issues. If there was a private medium to talk then I would have preferred to share my thoughts in private for sure.
If you are talking about the last paragraph, then yes, I got sarcastic there and I have my reasons for that. I assume the team will understand why I wrote that.
Actually, the whole market is facing the red zone now. And if we compare the crash with STEEM as compared to all other coins, then it's minor because STEEM is still better
If we look into history, whenever BTC crashed, we found steem very low somewhere at 0.15 or even less. But this time, there was a very huge crash in BTC, but we are so fortunate STEEM is still stable at 0.20 and more. I think it's l all due this #clubs and burnsteem projects.
So let's only hope for the future of crypto to be stabilize and regain it's bullish run because it's from there that STEEM too will run so high
But while waiting, we can keep bringing in new ideas that will keep this platform alive, active and booming
As @event-horizon rightly said, I think we are all entitled to have an opinion since we claim it is a “decentralized platform”. The clubs and burn initiatives are surely stabilising the price of steem but we can all agree than until we see a rice in the price of btc it will be very difficult for steem price to rise.
The truth of the matter is, no matter how knowledgeable we are or think we are in the field of crypto we can never predict what makes the price of an asset rises and falls. For me I think the club initiatives have been forced on people without allowing them to decide if that’s what they really want.
Even if many people won’t accept it, what attracted you and I to steemit was the rewards and if we can’t spend those rewards then what use it is being on the platform?
