RE: We Have Competition, So What?

in #life8 years ago

We can't let this become "democrats" vs "republicans" not everyone will agree as to what makes the best platform. The first shot in a war has been fired, that is all. Just as Myspace led to Facebook, so too, Steemit will likely lead to its successor. Will you be about the team to the exclusion of the solution? The solution is this: we are taking social media and turning it into an anarchist endeavor, not a centralized profit engine for giant corporations. The more the merrier. If someone else can supply me with what I need better than steem, why wouldn't I choose that solution? Competition is what makes free markets strong. To even consider it as a bad thing is to miss the entire point of steem to begin with.

Sort:  

That was nowhere the intention, and you will never see any kinds of "Us VS Them" from me :)

See, I had to slaughter and skin and destroy the flow of the text, just to throw away countless repetitions such as "It's ok", "it's their right", "there is enough people in the planet". "they will never stop making people" all of that so that people don't perceive it as "Dems vs Reps". or whatever.

But I guess that's what people are used to in the media, and maybe that's what people want to see.

Plus, I never considered competition as bad. :) Haha I don't know where you got that, but isn't there.

Everybody knows I'm a free market guy, I agree with you btw, I just think you've read the wrong post ;)

Well, you are assuming that I disagreed with something you said. I'm simply stating a fact, if we choose steem to the exclusion of better options, we will be guilty of stunting the growth of a new idea.

You're right, sorry! I'm miss-understood. I have been plagued with people who want bring me in their class-war here on steemit, minnows versus whales. And I'm tired of us VS them.

I saw Dems vs Reps and I thought that you thought that was what I was advocating. So that's where I made a mistake.

Sorry again, sometimes trolls can bring down your defenses sometimes. :)

No blood, no foul. I think it's silly to be afraid of these other platforms, at all, really, but especially before they even launch. LOL But, if one of them will pay me better for my silly stories, so be it! I can shape minds anywhere.
