Through the silence I can hear the clinckety clink of coins...

I didn't think I'd be able to bring myself to ramble on today. I'm staring at my almost finished second cup of coffee wondering if there's motivation to post anything of substance.

BUT THEN

I made a comment expressing the same old frustrations I've been having with a non mobile friendly steem experience only to be removed from an airdrop because someone can't handle my observations and took them personally. I'm not going to return the petty by dropping names. Truth be told I stick by my opinions that I find it absurd to continue building on top of a platform that can't see mobile is the future. And steem engine sucks hard!!

Steem Future

If taking the altruistic and genuine approach of thinking if just one person is positively impacted by my content then of course it's a worthy pursuit. If however the aim is to hear some chatter to accompany the clincking clacks of our coin factory then perhaps I should light some candles and meditate on why I have expectations. And if I even believe steem is salvageable.

vlogging vs 1998

I'm a bit surprised heimindangers dtube vision post hasn't received the level of engagement I thought it would. It all makes sense to me, of course a bit of the technical details are not quite clear, and while the devil is in the details, I must say the core principles are very attractive to me. If the kinks and bugs are all ironed I'm not seeing much reason to steem on as I know it today.

I suppose it's too difficult for our community seeing chains popping up that challenge the entire premise of both old and new steem. I saw acidyo had given his nod of approval in saying the dtc looks like the only coin that has a reason to exist or chance to survive. I think I completely agree.

People don't want to read, generally speaking. Steemians are more apt to consume written content than most but we might have already found those 10k people on earth. Basically, dtube makes sense, it seems to have a proper place in our online evolution. I think I should have used this as a script and just made a video..

Maybe someday, for now it's time to powerdown and accept that tribalism is not my cup of tea nor is fighting with people that are supposedly creating new steem and distributing coins on the shittiest online experience I've had in my entire life. BTW this isn't a rage quit, y'all aren't that lucky, this is me letting it be known I'm no longer a believer in steem or it's communities so don't worry about seeing my strong tag game and diverse content.
