Hello, Steemians, Steemizens, Ladies and Gentlemen !!!
I give you What SteemIT could ACTUALLY become,
If the social in social media is revived and creativity is brought back in the community.
TL;DR skip to Rant OFF :D and total video time is 15 mins, so watch that PLEASE !!!! image is quickly added since vids didn't count fr some reason
I need two minutes to rant out, I'm tired of the "flag wars" "whales wars" "bot wars" "curation rewards" "rewards curves" "comment rewards" "game theory" and "we need more users".
To address each point vaguely from last to first.
We have enough, we NEED activity and a GOAL, or at least to have everybody moving in a direction, not being a judge in a soccer/football match showing the flag card.
Game theory is for rats in mazes, we are humans and we can build whatever we wish, that is also a problem, but it's easier to solve a problem by stepping back rather than fighting on a ring, taking part in a loosing battle for both sides.
Comments can be easily rewarded if people pay attention to them, sadly we are pushed into the new, the trend and whatnot, stop and think for a second how much has been said and how little has been read, how much has been said and how little has been done too :)
Sure the rewards and power might be a problem, it's disheartening to recieve 0.001STEEM as a reward and "earn" 2 steem per month "curating" I agree that needs a serious conversation and it shouldn't be put in the box labeled they want more rewards and are entitled. Dear bernie, your political career should have taught you more.
Wars are fought over gains for the most part, resources, attention(here and in media, it's still a social-media), even women.
So if you can cut of the cancer in the root, which means start living naturally, eating healthy and being truly alive(not bound to a chair or have a bot to mine rewards) your life will be enough and every good tiding will be a god send, you wouldn't go to war, because that will cause pain to yourself, knowing that you are destroying something others cherish.
Sure moderation is welcome and a good idea in any conversation, that is the only way to have a productive outcome and sometimes even the only way for two opposing and distant "fractions" to find a middle ground. Peace is a though thing, wars are a tough question too, the world is filled with war, but also beauty.
Can't we all just get along, can't we stop pointing fingers, stopping to think for a while what our responsibilities are will save us a lot of headaches. So please stop getting looped in the same old conflicts, conflicts rarely bring out resolutions, mostly death and decay. With everything good swept under the rug. A prime example is people misunderstanding and labeling others for what they house within themselves, but are unable to look for any number of reasons, fear, sadness, pain, trauma, need I go on. Stop treating others like a piece of meat, stop looking for rewards, stop just stop, we will all be better off.
Things are the way they are because we have either let them go on or because we have MADE them this way, either way throwing blame and finding victims/playing the victim part won't help anybody.
Rant OFF
I've been meaning to share all my ideas on the ways Steemit CAN be updated but those above topics have drained me for at least a week and I'm a bit weak from it. It's time to reverse the trend and come back with some hard punches.
Outlines
Since the topics are many and I'm not sure how it would be best to proceed I'm at another juncture where I have to step up or shut up. It's time to do my challenge30 and write every day I suppose, commenting doesn't receive recognition. I will leave a poll in the comments here and outline how I will post. If you think some topics are more important I will bump those up. If it works, I will return to blogging and finish up on my 90+++ planned posts.
First of all Economy
Social or Market economy,has a wonderful proposition, supported by many and overall a very well fleshed out concept, I'm not sure I like the separation in "classes" and the removal of rewards.
is also trying to shed some light in this conversation.
has given his ideas on the hardfork and reward structures. There are other notable mentions, but I'm afraid I'm "spamming" already.
Personally I'm the least versed in this topic, but it seems like the most important, if I am to offer my views I have to read only this since the pages stack up quickly and the comments are so much, i anted to do a HardFork post but sadly I can't put in so much information, I've read the post, the comments, the ideas and after a while, my mind burst from all the concepts.
Steemit UI (User Interface)
This is the main theme I would like to run, since I'm well read on design and such, also given my sleepless nights and my social-less life :D I KNOW A LOT about Internet Sites :D
So going forward I will mostly post around this topic until I get my message across, I have at least 5-6 posts to make on:Additional layer of ideas for new APPS and uses for STEEM and or SteemIT,
- Additions to SteemIT(InTerface)
- App and functionality ideas for the upcoming and already announced/completed projects refer to Steem Tools or my comment AT What is driving the price of steemit downward
Those will be all the bullet points are what will follow in the next posts, and afterwards the highest voted/interest topic.
Now I will show you in a few videos what I mean, First of all the Site is VIMEO, THE BEST platform for videos ever(in the history of the internet)
First stop Steemit could be LEGEND
Second Stop - grow the community like the alps and STEEM ON like the train :)
Third Stop - Save those whales :) "They" are people too
I'm cutting it short for now. I want to post and I've been sidetracking for a while, it's time for me to fly, might edit later
Cheers guys make me proud :)
