Thoughts on the idea of Pay to Play Steem

Once a month there is a witness panel on Hive account@mps-waves and of course, as it happens every single month many of the doubts and concerns the steem community may be having at the moment get addressed.

I would strongly recommend everyone to watch/listen to today's talk if they have two hours to spend on it. As always Hive account@aggroed uploaded the recording to his blog:

What I wanted to address on this vlog is this whole notion that the "mission" of this platform is to make it a place for only the rich, to kill engagement if you will. Many things were said of course on the forum, but this is my take on the whole matter.

At any rate, I'm glad to see the costs of transacting going down and for interaction to be creeping up as it should already. I don't think i've seen so many voting bars so high up since I've joined.

As always, much love
