I understand your angle and you have too many reasons to be right, the thing is Peter can never be robbed to pay Paul really, if you decided not to support the EOS posts using steempower is a credible claim and it's undisputable really, I however stand of principles of right and wrong and you're certainly right.
I wish STEEM could be crowdsourced like this I'm other platforms it's a pity it isn't

Crowdsourcing? That's what we're doing right now, isn't it? Give me an idea and if I like it, I'll vote you the funding.
Don't know if you're serious, but I was going to write a post/make a submission somewhere touching on something I have mentioned in the past, which is that dlive/dtube should totally team up to fund an esports team in a country/countries with low costs of living but large enough playerbases with potential talent who could grow to become at least tier 2/1.5 in their respective games, if not tier 1. Do you think that's feasible at all, or that they would want to partake in any kind of shared responsibility like that? I think if we want to get eyeballs and users from the outside we have to start thinking a little differently.
That is a brilliant idea. However, they don’t need to team up. They are competitors of each other.
Maybe later they can be competitors, but right now I view it as a situation where competing against each other within the current steem ecosystem is less beneficial for the both of them and their largest source of delegation than it would be for them to work in unison to share the risk of a joint project that could yield dividends for everyone involved including general holders of steem and SP.
Also, the cost of a team isn't so low that it would be easy to field the first team on only one platform's back, unless you were really scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of talent, management, and amenities, and even if the team is hosting in a cheap place to live they still have to fly internationally, among other costs that bring the baseline up.
So it might be hard to immediately start several teams for several games at once unless they were contributing substantial percentages of their voting power, but it's certainly realistic to think that advertising revenue from other companies, crowdfunding from other steemians, and any amount of success and tournament winnings could start to offset the ongoing costs of the first team. Once it isn't such a large cashsink they can start to look at the results, conversion to steem users, activity on the platforms etc. and then begin eyeing a second team acquisition or creation.
It is however important to note that most esports orgs are never profitable, but this problem is itself somewhat lessened if we view it how many of the other owners do, which is the all-coveted brand recognition. Any given team establishing itself within a game with some modicum of success would garner somewhat substantial street cred for dlive/dtube/steem, something imo we sorely need among certain demographics which esports currently holds captive.
That makes me think how did twitch become so successful and popular? I don't know much about its history, but I am sure there are lessons that can be learned from its experiences and marketing methods.
I was actually thining the same thing. theres no reason for the two projects to be seperate
I'm not familiar enough with either of those apps or their development to know whether they would work together. You certainly could contact them and suggest it.
I think STEEM has been of immense value to people, and it's really not even crowdsourced you know like most even valuable stuffs that are being fed down people's throat.
I think majority of people do not kow about STEEM, and I'll be damned if EOS rises to take over.
If you ask me, I'll humbly say it's possible to orientation on local TVs, mass ads, on billboards in many countries, even on products that uses ads to boost their economy, so many ways sir, can I continue?
