We are talking about scaling issues of the platform to go it mainstream. Not what people "need to understand" as they never will :)
Well I wasn't talking about scaling issues. Also scalability is a completely different issue that is in hands of the platform's developers. Not sure if you followed the fireside chat with Ned Scott during Steemfest. He explained very well which are the main challenges with regards to onboarding.
You say that you don't share people's position who compare themselves with highly paid content, but then you write:
But when they see obviously effortless scrabbled worthless stuff trending over and over again with hundreds of dollars in earnings.
LOL! This is exactly why I wrote my article. Effortless and worthless? Who says that? How could you know that it was effortless? Were you sitting close to the authors when they prepared their articles? Do you even know that 90% of the users that are constantly trending have built applications and other projects on the blockchain?
Statements like these are exactly the reason why I wrote this article.
Again, I wasn't talking about scalabitily since this is something we actually don't have any influence in. I was talking about mindset and perspective.
Yes, it's fascinating in many different ways.
