RE: A Call to the Whales - It's Time to Clean This Place Up - Please Join Me!

in #steem6 years ago

I posit very few whales will heed your call. You will find that frustrating and it will reinforce you in the belief that there are too few true heroes and unfortunately the filthy-rich on this Earth are overwhelmingly loathable scumbags.

While this is not entirely false, I would like to draw your attention to a bias you are introducing when observing the whales from your position (like in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle): you have a very blunt, uncompromising, some might say abrasive approach that is not conducive to consensus and collaboration. Some whales might thus be interested in working to clean this place up ... but not with you.

I do not say that in order to make you "feel" something. I say it in in the hope that you'll "think" up something. I am conviced you care a lot about this place (as I do). And that your goal is to have a better Steemit.

But if we admit that your personal approach to engaging with people might be counterproductive and repel some of those that share the same goal (a better Steemit), then up to where are you ready to change your approach, what are you ready to compromise in order to enlist more whales to work for that goal ?

Of course, there's also the possibility that you won't accept that your very personal approach of "slashing and burning" things (that can be indeed seen as deserving to be slashed and burned ) gets into the way of uniting the whales.

Sort:  

There was a truce called a few months back where haejin made a deal with bernie to use the 100% power up on 4/10 of his post's which was a fair compromise.

Unfortunately it didn't last long and now we are almost back to square 1.
