I'm not attacking anyone, I'm just completely confused as to what it is the people arguing about the guilds are trying to achieve. What can be done that's better, how can it be done, and who is going to do it?
its hard to know exactly what voting would be like without the guilds, because they've been around, in one form or another, since jumpstreet.
My problem with the guilds is that their method of paying their curators works at cross purposes to their stated intention in two ways.
By taking a considerable amount of money from the rewards pool for cookie cutter content thats posted as a pretext for whales to pay them for their curation, they make it so everyone gets fewer rewards, when their stated intent is to make everyone get more rewards.
By posting low-quality cookie cutter content, then elevating it to the top of trending every single day to make their payroll, they showcase bad content, where they propose to improve the quality of content on steemit by showcasing good content.
