RE: Hard Fork 21 and The War To End All Wars

I'm one of those people who are seriously worried about consequences of HF21.

Flag wars are definetly something that many people seem to be concerned with. Luckily I never got involved in any. I received number of random downvotes but none of it ever has been permanent. (lucky me:)

none of the big players read my blog anyway.

Yeah, whales do not really care about "regular joes" that much :(

Right now we're witnessing all those who are powering down and selling their steem, because they lose their faith in Steemit. And in my opinion majority of users believe that current 50/50 reward system will make rich richer, and poor poorer. And that it's targeting authors.

Regardless what's the real reason behind some of those changes will not change the fact, that many of those people are opendly quitting steemit.

I'm here to stay, however I'm worried about the future of this platform. The biggest issue I see is non-linear reward curve, which will make upvoting comments with small 0.03$ vote hardly possible.

So culture of rewarding people who engage with us will probably receive a huge blow (or perhaps die completely).

There are some smart technical people behind all this, but if they don’t understand Game Theory and how these changes will REALLY play out then they are the wrong people to be in charge.

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE

My impression is that people behind Steemit and HF21 do not understand their audience. That's the biggest problem.

Yours,
