RE: Why Are So Many Users Hitting Their Bandwidth Limit? Solved It! What You Can Do.

in #steemit7 years ago

Agreed, it seems we are limited by the average. That seems to be how things are for this Steem blockchain. I'm mostly on the Steem It platform (http://Steemit.com) of the Steem blockchain. So, this is how Steem did and/or is still doing things. I understand this to an extent or maybe completely.

We could debate on whether or not Steem should limit bandwidth, usage, transactions, posting, commenting, voting, sharing, resteeming, upvoting, and everything. Some people may want Steem to have less limits, or maybe no limits, like Facebook maybe. But Facebook has limits, too, as far as I can see. Social networks seem to have limits. I have seen limits on Twitter, Facebook, and maybe YouTube.

The difference is that Facebook may not always tell you what their limit algorithm system or whatever like Steem seems to have according to what I have read from posts like this which stems from white papers and stuff. So, I like to know what the rules and limits and systems and the requirements and the contracts and expectations are and that seems to be what is good about some decentralized cryptocurrencies, some blockchain networks, like Steem for example, when they are maybe transparent, direct, real enough.

But is the bandwidth limit of Steem something more related, maybe, to like capitalism or to communism or to a mix of both or to neither or to what? At first, I was thinking maybe communism in some ways. But now I am thinking maybe this limit is more a product of capitalism in a good kind of way more so. I am trying to justify this limit thing in my head. I am trying to be ok with it. I do not like it when I am at the limit. But money talks and websites and bandwidth are or might be expensive to some extent maybe or something and therefore we got to have systems in place to balance those things out or something. As Steem grows and competes more with Facebook, then maybe the average will grow to a higher bandwidth ceiling limit thing maybe I hope. That is what I am hoping. It seems that your bandwidth grows as your SP grows to some extent. That is part of the formula that determines the bandwidth limits (averages).
