I like an analogy from the real society where buying votes and power is called CORRUPTION.
I see no difference here, except this system seems to encourage that.
Many users find themselves in such a hopeless position that they give up what otherwise would be considered morals and ethics in real society and they give in - they start playing by the same rules many others do here, which feels like CORRUPTION BY DESIGN.
I don't think it's corruption by design. I Something think that it is more that some changes bring about completely unexpected behaviours. I expect that this will continue to be the case till we have a settled and polished product. Till then we are trying things out and moving on (hopefully)
Ok, fair enough if it is true that it was completely unintended. I am not sure if it was or was not though.
Unfortunately i see the lack of leadership, lack of direction and vision. With that in mind i don't expect changes any time soon or even in mid-term foreseeable future.
I am just curious, when you say "we are trying" - are you a part of the development or management or any other team that actually involved in making things happen in any way other than posting comments? Just to be clear, this is not a rhetorical and not a sarcastic question and certainly means no disrespect. It is a genuine inquiry.
Thank you.
Lol, apologies for that. I only meant we as in the collective. I am not part of any team much as I would rather that that were the case.
I am going that with the hints described from the various steemfest takes that there are changes coming soon. They might not half this nonsense but will continue in the grand march to a better product
