Ned now is suggesting to remove ALL rewards for authors! What a great idea! DESTROY the ability to blog and make money! So who in their right minds would bother making good content if the only way they can earn is through up voting? Wouldn't they just up vote shit content as fast as possible and be done? This type of constant CHANGE with NO input from REAL steemians is what is killing off steem!
Ned REFUSES to look at reality! He acts like he is god here and knows what is best for us! Just look at what he has to say here:
So my suggestions: 1. There is a need for STEEM Economic Shifts. 2. There are many other Economic Shift Possibilites, such as 100% Curation Rewards and 0 Creator Rewards.
HOW can that be good? I make account XYZ and power it up with 100,000 SP then make account ABC and power it up with nothing. XYZ up votes ABC and all ABC does is post content like this "Well today is post #12345"! What a great idea! Discourage people from making GOOD posts and comments while encouraging MORE people to just up vote content that is mediocre at best!
WHY would I bother making a post if I can't earn ANYTHING from it? My only way to earn more with Ned's new proposal is to up vote others. It just is INSANE! This is why Steem is dieing and why so many people are leaving! Ned and the Steem Team REFUSE to listen to input from the middle class! Their HF20 destroyed the ability for new members to exist and grow on the platform and now they want to kill off the middle class! WHY would anyone bother with this platform after taking away the REWARD for AUTHORING good high quality content? The answer: THEY WON'T! They all will leave! IF ned is serious about this he can kiss Steem GOOD BYE because NO ONE is going to be left but the whales and accounts controlled by the top 1%!
Economics 101 states you need a poor and middle class to survive. Well HF20 killed off the poor and this proposed upgrade will kill off the middle class! With only the elite rich left who can they earn from? The value of STEEM will go to 0 since no one will want to invest into a platform that only favors the founders! This is insanity!
