RE: The EIP and how curation will matter again - a.k.a false hopes

in #steem5 years ago (edited)

Sorry, but I just can't agree that shilling is doing good. New people come in, see they don't have a stand against those in the in-circles, and disappear again. One can turn the mood around for a few days (as it happened with mine), but sooner or later reality kicks in. Community building consists of more than bringing new people in, you have to give them reasons to stay around.
Exyle's only been an example because he's written the post Google suggested to me. And there has been a comment under his post, where someone asks if his stats can be achieved with other projects. That made me realize how bad his "openness" is because it creates expectations.
Looking at trending and the current reward distribution, as well the autovotes I get myself, he's just a small part of the general issue.

I'm waiting to see the numbers of how much the top ten votes are taking each and every day.
@statsmonkey used to tell me, ~25%, but he died.

Is it any wonder less than 10k want to play a game mostly benefiting less than 100?

Totally my own fault to have hoped that things would change. Stats won't differ much after all I've witnessed. Just less possibilities for minnows to get a (small) piece of the cake, because they get covered in downvotes for using the only option that's been available to them.
Do I really start to defend bid bots now? Damn.

Nope, we just wait for the greedy f**ks to satiate themselves with penny steem, then we pick up the pieces.

Bid bots break proof of brain.

Have a good day pharesim, I don't want to contribute to this any further. I wish you great success with your project.

Well, have a good day too.

I still don't get how people wish me success with the project. I don't have anything to gain with it, it's for bettering the whole platform. But maybe it's just something people do when they don't know what else to say.

Not all success is monetary. I assume you had something you wanted to achieve?

Wishing you success could mean... I hope your goals are reached. Sheesh.

My personal goal was achieved when the public announcement was made. Still got some improvements on the line, but those aren't vial and completely up to my own motivation.
I course I would've been glad to see adoption by the former bid bot delegators, as that would've proved the change in consciousness in the community I hoped for. But that's obviously been naive.
