I think it is going to sneak up on most who are not seeing the subtle changes! Yes, the momentum is changing and I don't pretend everything is perfect. I just see that things are changing and the entire topic is about to change. We have had the same complainers all along, but I see many new users now, who are more serious and unwilling to get involved in the what's fair debate. Every job, every school, every team, every site, has a group of people who identify and focus on problems. That will never change. I just see we are also developing a lot of new voices are ignoring that and just looking to see how they can get involved.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
This is still, for now, a very small ecosystem and we have until recently had a rather static group of thought leaders.
Ups and downs, complete with their echo chambers, are normal in such small cultures.
Most important right now, especially for those who seem stuck in those echo chambers, is to rip one(self) out of that perspective and start seeing the good and new again.
With relation to Steem because otherwise the unexpected will definitely sneak upon one. With relation to life because it is the good thing to do and also prevents burn out, the last thing a (online) creator wants.
Nothing is perfect. As long as we don’t get addicted to the Kool Aid. Being able to take a step back and analyse is important, every coin has two sides.
Interesting times.
There is something more too. If you look at new things you will always see three generations:
You can see those different crews in pretty much any trend, even in bar crews, both among the team and guests btw. Internet communities have a similar cycle (altho growth to genuine mainstream traffic takes often another 2-3 years, but the population has changed already.
Steem is now approaching the third cycle. It’s somehow interestingly coincidental that that collided with EOS being pretty much ready.
You bring up some really interesting points and some things I need to consider as well.
I was going to talk about EOS, but I didn't want to trigger everyone too badly. lol
Here is my take... EOS right now is an idea, people never build problems into their ideas, so EOS will be first a disappointment. We will be hitting our stride as they are finding their problems. After that things could get dicey, but I not interested in turning much attention on EOS right away. I will be very grateful for the competition factor though.
