I must live in a vastly different world from you. I'll go back to reading about EA's very legal but very devious addition of microtransactions in Battefront II. Which caused a massive backlash from the consumers, and ultimate EA canceling all microtransactions.
So I'm afraid there's no discussion to be had here. If you want to blindly accept your land's flawed laws, feel free. I'll stand up and protest for what I feel is right, particularly as throughout history protests have proven to be very successful. Thanks for your thoughts.
PS: This is particularly true of Steem. There have been many hardforks that have completely turned the blockchain rules on its head. I might add I have personally supported and campaigned for many of these changes.
"...EA canceling all microtransactions..."
Don't you get it, there is no equivalent of EA here. Who are you directing your protests at? There is no government or authority or company that owns the Steem blockchain. Who do you expect to listen to your protests and what do you expect them to do?
I suppose I need to spell it out for you -
My post was targeted at:
I assume you're new to Steem and don't understand how it works. I and others have had a lot of success in campaigning for new hard forks, and we shall continue doing so. Some of the major changes we have brought about are the change from hyperinflation in HF16, the move to linear rewards in HF19, and soon, easy account sign up in HF20.
Ok. Good. I agree with you.
You just shifted gears quite quickly though. It was not at all apparent that you were campaigning for a hard fork. You don't mention it once in your post. In fact, it was the opposite: it was very clear that you were simply asking people to stop and I was arguing that a hard fork was the only solution the whole time. And now suddenly you are telling me I don't know how steem works?
I also don't particularly appreciate the passive aggressiveness and snarkiness, especially given your stated enthusiasm for etiquette.
Ha, I was just responding the same tone as you, assuming you would be comfortable with it. I apologise though, didn't mean to cause any offense.
its all good, thanks. best of luck with this, i'd love to see a hardfork solution to this.
