I want to clarify my disagreement with the proposal made by https://steemit.com/blocktrades/@blocktrades/proposing-a-worker-proposal-system-for-steem
TL;DR; Democracy is bad for crypto, we need to continue making swift decisions. Crypto, all it’s complicated moving pieces, sacrifices and competition is too much for a democracy of “regular people” to handle.
This was my original comment that inspired the video:
I highly disagree with the worker proposal system!
It's good in theory, but not in practice. History is full good examples of why it doesn't work:
BTS had the best tech for years, and look how far they came? They are barely in the top 50... all this because of "worker proposal system" that has hindered their progress. Because their governance is "too decentralized" they are at major risk of becoming obsolete, while newer more centralized versions of BTS are popping up left and right. Look at IOST, they are almost in the top 50 and their mainnet wont even launch until next month.
Furthermore, BTS doesn't even have a working mobile app! Why? Because of worker proposals that are "attempting" to make one for ages now...
The only people that would benefit from a worker proposal system are "hired guns / contractors" like you
Nothing personal, I respect your proposition and work, but your opinion is very biased in this matter.
I hate to say it, but for the good of the ecosystem and ultimately the price of STEEM, there MUST be some level of centralization like Steemit, Inc. offers.
