What we have
- Money opportunists only interested in cashing out steem as soon as possible
- Users who view steemit as a job ( they have already planned to buy a house with their retirement funds..)
- People with zero interest to invest a single penny in the system , even just as a sign of support.
- A vocal minority of users who are autovoted by whales and are trying their hardest to protect their personal interests
- A lot of self-centered people who are not willing to give up some of their existing benefits to improve the platform as a whole
- Many users with entitlement mentality who thinks they are owed money from steemit.
- Ignorant people, like a LOT of ignorant people.
- Cry babies who 'threaten' to quit steem because of the experiment ( funny enough these are the same people who quit their jobs for steemit a few weeks ago)
What we need
- People who come to steem primarily because of the community
- Users with vision and foresight
- Users who are ready to accept change if it benefits the platform as a whole
- People who are interested to participate and support steem whether it be financially ( SP ) or through engagement.
- People not expecting things back in return for their actions
- Genuine people wanting to build a better world who strongly believe in the future of steemit
The first group will often attack the second group by saying that they are a bunch of communists,etc.. I am pretty positive there is nothing communist in being a concerned steemian with good values. Also if people working for a common goal makes you a communist then pretty much every businesses in the world is communism. This narrative is just ridiculous.
You will also noticed that many in the first group havn't been posting for weeks, they just had their bots on autopilots and have only shown their faces because of the experiment.
Many have also only recently shown support for newbies, don't get fooled folks, these people are just using the ' newbies don't like the experiment' narrative to protect their own financial interests. Before the experiment these people have never been supportive of newbies.
This experiment has made it crystal clear to me who belongs in which category. I have to say there are many people who I thought were in the second group that actually weren't. There was also a few people that pleasantly surprised me.
You can call me commie all you want,but make no mistake if steem is to succeed its people in the 2nd group that will make it happen. Chose wisely who you want to support
