Let's burn the geeks and pin it onto trending!

I was away for a while so I don't know what "new steem" is but from a geek's perspective old steem also had too many influencers who overpromised in daily basis.

As I remember many people were against to the new terms like vests in the previous HFs, it may confuse the newcomers. Then resource pools, mana costs etc. Now we have SPS, Mira, EIP bla bla oh la la..

I'd like to see steem as facebook with incentives, simple as that now I need to read 10 more articles about these and have opinions on it and discuss it for nothing for days until some people put some new terms in front of us.

Before I read them all, I just think as a geek :) how did they solve "Rude, Scammy, Bad Economics, Too much GEEK." problems with code.

New community funding -SPS
New Community Tools - Scot tokens and sites
New Scalability - Mira
New Economic Model - EIP
New Leadership in SteemIt Inc one of our funding and development companies

from these headlines only the EIP sounds like worth to read. Community funding was a thing, it didn't used well or didn't work to attract people at all, they just try to grow bigger inside. Scalability is not my concern, it's for big geeks those who run the servers for the chain. Leadership, does she/he plays guitar?

Older steem

• At least you were free to write as many as you'd like, then system started to act every new account as a bot. While ignoring the actual bots that ruling/ruining the inside economy.

Old steem:

• Hard to get involved.
• Eureka moment after a week that you don't see hundreds of upvotes if you don't pay for it.
• Circlejerks that takes the whole daily pie.

List goes on but I believe that was not the point :)

New steem:

• I bet none of them solved.

Oh there is one more thing, there are people that still believe if we behave well, steem value would rise. :) Hope this EIP is something about trading steem with outer world.

edit, Oh c'mon is that it?
