RE: The Future of Steemit

in #steemit6 years ago

I'm new here, so I'm sure I'm missing the nuances of all this, including all of the history of the back and forth. Regardless, from what I've read so far, from this post/comments and others, it all seems to boil down to this. Unless there's something that haejin or anyone else is doing that is against the very few rules that exist here on SteemIt, they are perfectly within their rights to do what they're doing. If what they are doing is against the rules, than the powers that be should put an end to it. That said, it also would seem that it is within the rights of those who oppose such behavior to rally everyone they can and do something about it. Since downvoting, along with posts and comments drawing attention to the situation, seem to be the only way to hedge against this, I say, do what you got to do. This community has the power to do it, if we choose to use that power. This experiment isn't just about making money, or being sufficiently rewarded for your efforts. It's also about what kind of community do you want to build. Do you want regulations like everywhere else in the world, where a lot is dictated for you, or do you want more say in what happens. Do you want to be a part of something greater? It's our community to build and destroy. Personally, I would like to find some kind of common ground and find the way to live and let live. So, if you think haejin's posts are worth everything they earn, continue to vote them up. If you think the opposite, vote them down. Advocate for some kind of change, too. I would prefer a civil discourse, like what appears to be largely happening on this post, but expressing things how one wishes to express them is part of what's going on here, too.
