Thanks for coming in @smooth and explaining it. I have been asked several times about it and I haven't been able explain it well enough so, this will hopefully help.
I would suggest you take that up before making ridiculous proposals
I think we could agree that on the scale of Steemit, this is only mid-range ridiculous.
Even if intended as an attempt at humor/sarcasm/irony, that works a lot better if you know what you are talking about before you try.
I am not a very funny person in writing but, I thought the title would suggest some level of humor but, I think only the people who would read my stuff often might realise it.
Although I don't know what is going on, people keep asking why Steemit doesn't get involved so it seems there is a breakdown in communication which is no surprise considering the UI, low-level of interaction between groups and Steemit's and many others in the know's unwillingness to publicly address some of the issues the average user of the platform faces.
It seems that lately, the only time people seem willing to enter conversations is at misrepresentation and challenge. For the many, many small users, understanding can't develop because there is no clear source explaining it. I don't know if communities will help or not but, the current system has been broken for a very long time.
Anyway, thanks again :)
LOL good point!
"I think we could agree that on the scale of Steemit, this is only mid-range ridiculous."
That is the funniest thing I have read all day, so you got ONE bit of the joke across pretty well! :D
:)
I think the discussions can be fun and there is no need for animosity or anger, especially when people are openly and earnestly trying to do their best at working things out.
