RE: Clarifying my decision not to support EOS-related posts and witnesses (100% of post rewards donated to curation initiatives)
I often wonder: if a decision was only going to favor one of the two between the steem blockchain and eos blockchain, as a top steem witness and eos BP, which will it be?
At the end of the day, we are looking at what we call a conflict of interest. Things like these even spark the flames of perpetual unhealthy competition. Steem might not be where it wants to be right now, but when those "elected" who owe steem a primary duty to help it grow through thick and thin are busy vying for the growth of other rival blockchains, how is that a good thing?
Herein lies another problem: The support for team eos comes from the steem blockchain..be it the steem/sbd being converted to eos, the posts made on STEEMIT and all. Why isn't the publicity channelled elsewhere? Steemit sourced it's users from the outside world, why not go and replicate that feat instead of targeting ready made members of the steem blockchain.
How many people are doing genuine publicity for them without incentives or hopes of benefit? Well I know those who are doing and who can do such for steem.
I also believe that instead of complaining about the ills of this platform as an excuse to bail out, we can actually do something about it like some few individuals are doing.
Finally, I am open to corrections here since I believe I am not an island of knowledge and I am open to learning.
Very well said. You're active in a number of communities where you've seen that happen, so your perspective is important here.
