@eurogee this is very thoughtful of you to air the mind of the majority. Kudos.
For me, I saw "open source " contributions on Steemit as a welcomed idea, @utopian.io was my eye opener, to that effect, I went back to do my homework on how I could be useful to the community, visibility was the only way I could contribute.
Each time I made efforts to make a contribution, I discovered that the Bar was raised, from 5k,to 10k...so I gave up.
I wonder how many minnows like me have also given up.
The main aim of visibility is to reach a targeted audience, but what after the #reach-out nobody shows further interest? It's a fruitless effort!
I also think the standards set are too high for a common minnow! Majority of them are not geeks to make contributions into bug hunting, translations etc. So why make things difficult for them?
If the trend continues,people would have apathy for @utopia.io ,and utopia would loose it's essence as a community driven project.
For me, I don't think I would ever make a contribution there because I don't have what it takes and I am not a machine to reach out to over 10k audience. It's penny wise pound foolish to invest your resources to make a visibility post to a targeted audience when the post would eventually get rejected and become invisible to @utopia
Time is precious and should be channelled into more rewarding ventures.
@eurogee you just got a resteem from me.
This is what they don't know! Or they know but are being jealous for people's hard work. I will never keep quiet until this issue is addressed.
@eurogee
Thanks for the head up
Baba you got the backing of almost all the communities reading this..
We just needed a voice all these while.
Thanks for being the voice.
Whatever it takes baba.
If dem like to flag, we go carry awa kaya port go another place
Damn flags. Do you whip a child and expect him not to cry. Atrocities are becoming the order of the day at utopian-io. It's better my account is flagged into obscurity than being here and watch shit unfold before my eyes...
Unless they make changes with humane touch, I can never keep quiet!
