While we're spending time messing around with parameters that a very small number of people actually understand or care about, Steem will continue its steady decline as the rest of the world flocks to the platforms that understand user experience and marketing.
This 100%
While I really believe we need to make changes as our system is not working, it won't matter if we keep hemorrhaging the good users.
Who are the good users? Your preferred content creators? Those not 100% delegated out to bots? Those not spanking over half their VP over themselves each day?
Those are my good users, and yeah, we do not have many.
Users who produce quality original content and are not milking the system with garbage.
Who is more milky in your eyes:
A user who produces 6 pieces of original content each day, or a user who produces one run of the mill post a day?
There are different degrees and no way to fix all of them but there are plenty of extreme cases. Some are symptoms of the system itself and those around them.
It's clearly not the latter, even if the post is total garbage.
The ones milking are the blatant haejin types and those running an array of alts 'cause everyone else is'.
