RE: The Future of Steemit

in #steemit6 years ago

In anarchy, nothing can be shared equally.

No system shares equally. We have to ask what it is we're sharing and whether or not sharing equally is even the goal.

Steemit does not in any way attempt to share equally. What is being shared out is a crypto asset which is created out of thin air, but which has utility in the system (gives you more voting power if powered up), which some people are willing to treat as money (in exchange for goods and services) and exchange for other assets.

Because it's created out of nothing, comparisons to what other national governments (even imagined ones) systems do is confused.

Come here and start giving, then you will get noticed and start recieving.

Sure, I agree. But that's not related to the problem. The problem here is that if you piss off some nasty rich people you can find yourself voted against in retaliation. This is obviously unfair.

So what's the solution to that? Keep your mouth shut? Just roll with it? Give up and leave?

Sort:  

BUY STEEM. THE SERVERS DONT RUN ON FAIRY DUST PEOPLE!! Steemit isnt run out of someones mothers basement. Its a business that operates without advertising. Who pays for the serveres, electricity, climate control, technical support? Elves? fairys? The Great Pumpkin from Charlie Brown? Somebody clue me in, Im all ears.

Its called the MUTE button.

Muting someone and burying your head in the sand doesn't negate a flag.

It gets rid of people you dont want to associate with. Much like blocking telemarkets. See it in action.
