HF21 has no clothes and I am not afraid to say it. I am not the only one to see it formerly dedicated content creators like
are leaving the platform and she will not be the last. Let me give you a small example of the negative impact only one of the new features of this clusterfuck will cause- the 50- 50 split between content creators and so called curators .
We all know camillesteemer the idiot that has nothing better to do but downvote people she does not like from a plethora of accounts. The accounts she targets are usually posts of high quality, she targets these as she was exposed as repeat plagiariser and she never forgave the community for being shamed for it. At this time her downvotes hold little to no weight as the community retaliated by downvoting her posts to hell and her new accounts have not accumulated enough power with the reposting she does . This will change with the 50- 50 split she will be making substantially more steeem/ steempower /steemBD and will use it to further target content creators. How long do you think people with real content will take this kind of shit? It is bad enough that everything the community has asked for is regularly ignored but to add insult to injury you are going to reward assholes? This will have consequences …
I personally am more than disgusted and while i am not leaving Steem yet I will also not be posting as much once the hardfork hits. I am staying here for the people i care about but once the last ones of them are gone be aware that i will not be staying here either- unless things change for the better. I put my heart and soul in this platform, there was so much potential it could have been world changing had not the greed of a few turned it into a malformed creature that now barely crawls where it had the potential to fly and cause lasting change. Watching this platform die has been one of the most demoralising experiences of my life. i know some will laugh and say “it’s just the internet “ and that i am bing over dramatic- and no I have not lived under a rock - i have seen wa , famine , extreme poverty, torture and death more times then I would like to remember. so no i do not lack real world hardships, it is the potential i mourn. It was in our reach- the possibility to help people by giving them a way to create and earn money, by creating a platform that could have financed everything from individuals , to art , to science projects and open source engineering . We could have financed orphanages , homeless shelters created a real world system to use steem as payment for real world goods. And what did we do with it ? This … so yeah I am more than disappointed that human greed once again destroyed something good and now HF21 is coming to pick the bones …
P.S - fun fact camillesteemer took the time to have several of her account downvote this post usually she only graces me with one or two ...LOL don't worry boo with 50/50 you actually might become someone...
