I've been reading about this said proposal for two days now. Trying to force myself to accept it like most people have. Even some of the people I care about on this blockchain are for this said change but I'm still not convinced. There are too many Buts and what-ifs.
I think we can solve the issues raised with the current system we have. Most of the responses I have been getting skip the solutions I'm suggesting and usually address the most subtle parts of my concern.
What is really steem's problem? Do we even have a problem or our expectations for this blockchain are just unrealistic?
Imagine wanting to tweak a whole reward system to improve content discovery. Is that how other social platforms have dealt with spammers and people who bought/paid their influence? Please, you guys can help me think rationally about this (I'm tired of hearing lofty theories).
I'm not so worried about that fact that my earning might drop after this HF which I have been told will be the reverse, but this won't change anything. Bidbots are our major problem. The user experience is. Have you tried explaining steem to someone who isn't tech savvy or has no knowledge about cryptocurrency? Priorities. We putting the cart before the horse.
People clamouring for change--any change. I have been in this situation before and it doesn't end well. I wish them good luck.
Well, I wanted to point out the issues, but also there is such a thing and being a good loser too. Once the debate is done, I will sit back and hope it works. Because it would be in my self-interest if it does.
bidbots are not the problem... The missing SMTs are. It seems like Steemit Inc is not capable to deliver them and screws around with this instead. Changing reward curves is much easier. The bad thing is they are hurting the Steem experience and stakeholders.
