”Block One votes on EOS. Steemit needs to know whats good for itself and dictate the rules or die.”

The problem here is: STINC is the entity that proposed and coded the protocols that broke the economy/incentives. I don’t see how they can improve things by controlling witnesses, as dumb and/or useless as many of those witnesses are.

STINC’s dictating of the rules brought us 75/25 post-curation splits (mostly 88/12 for the longest time), linear rewards, delegation, the too-low 10-vote daily target, and a variety of other changes that were unnecessary, untested, contradictory, and likely harmful.

And where is the innovation? Where is that “killer app” that Ned has talked about for three years? Where are communities that were being developed over two years ago? Where’s the mobile app that was being developed two years ago? Where are SMTs that were supposed to be launched in 2018?

Why are people still waiting on STINC to do ANYTHING AT ALL?

Where are the actual devs on this chain who can write new protocols or rewrite existing ones and submit pull requests? Where are the investors and economic literates who can help guide these devs? FFS...I know I’ve written lots of posts with proposed economic changes, as have many others. Are there any blockchain devs willing to write code based on those proposals? Does anyone care at all???

I mean, I think the answers are obvious. And I think the reasons for those answers are obvious.

This blockchain has been hijacked by hobbyist devs masquerading as businessmen, by the socially-impaired and unemployed masquerading as “curators” and “community builders,” by a schizophrenic man-child masquerading as a corporate CEO, by ass-kissing incompetents masquerading as witnesses, and by simple run-of-the-mill scammers.

Could the economic incentives be anything other than horribly misaligned? And who do you think is going to fix it? Who can fix it? Who wants to fix it?

Who will even acknowledge that anything is broken?

Ugh...now I’m just disgusted with this place all over again. Thanks a lot, KEVIN!
