Your problem is that you think there should be an immediate return.
I’m sorry, that’s not how it works.
That’s just as vulture alike as the bot operators and delegators now.
Why do apps have large delegations? Because people invest lots of time, often also their credit cards and even mortgages, in building startups. In building long term. Delegations can both empower, grow, and subsequently become a great example of what can be done on the future.
Of what will eventually drive the value of Steem.
Your thinking? You highlight issues and at the same time you say you’re fine with anything which returns to a system which was developed for a platform without any certitude about longevity. It’s not the solution... no return should be expected definitely not immediately.
Investing is ALWAYS a risk.
We shouldn’t be scared that the vultures leave. Instead... it makes room, at a reasonable cost, for new and possibly better focused investors. People who don’t wallow the loss of anything n^+1.
That only feeds wrong behavior, wrong loudmouths and is also destructive for agile evolution of a platform.
