On my initial tests I have found that there is a kind of territorialism rising in the steemit community that could spell its demise.
I’ve travel to many real world alternative communities to explore why they die and found that the pack mentality usually destroys what would otherwise have been a utopia.
The problem starts when people become protective of what they believe it theirs, especially when there is money, rewards or special privileges involved.
Having been here for a while lurking, I see that this in what’s happening here.
Decentralisation is as I mentioned in my previous article (which nobody got to read and this is replacing it). Is intended for a fairer distribution of the wealth system. This is indeed why I believe it is so important that it survives. The problem is that life is not fair yet.
Unless Steemit figures out a way (as reddit have) of giving a wider exposure to new and talented individuals, I truly believe it won’t last.
Hope this didn’t rub any admins or whales up the wrong way as it is intended to help save a potentially brilliant concept. But then again it will probably never be seen in the current system.
As a test I removed an original post and put it on Reddit. It has already been viewed over 100 times in minutes.
It had 4 views and when posted here. The trafic is here but is being unfairly driven for the wrong reasons imho.
