Thank you for continuing to participate in this project! To be clear, I am not the one who needs to look. I cannot and will not be examining every single post about every single person's project. The protocol is designed to enable those who wish to develop projects to follow a predetermined route for acquiring community support and demonstrating objective proof that their project will return value to the community so that if they desire to receive support from Steemit they will have the necessary evidence (which will include community/crowd support) ready. When in doubt people should look to the protocol, not to me. If there is a flaw in the protocol they should point it out and acquire support for making the necessary adjustments. Note: that one does not receive support is not a legitimate criticism. Most projects will likely not receive official support which is precisely why we want to encourage people to design their projects to be sustainable regardless of whether Steemit Inc decides to give them support. The protocol is designed to help people develop sustainable projects that can function without steemit support, but which can also be amplified by steemit support. We are not looking to support projects that are based on the premise, "This will only work if steemit supports this." The protocol was also designed to make the process of finding and supporting the most productive projects as efficient as possible. I believe it accomplishes this, but am open to proof that it does not and making the adjustments necessary. As long as there are no supported modifications to the protocol, my general response will be, "When in doubt, follow the protocol." Thanks again for your participation and I look forward to seeing how your project progresses.
