RE: Learning from History: One of Steem's "Grand Challenges"
You know, my friend, I think I had a realization. I came to understand, to a large extent, the problem that Steemit has been facing. As you say, @snowflake's words take on greater relevance after 7 years. It's sad to read that they don't see a solution that directly benefits the ecosystem.
The tragedy of the commons.
I remember several years ago, I designed a group dynamic at a convention with teenagers in which, in small groups and in rounds, they had to sell or buy cows, land, rent or mortgage their (fictitious) earnings. Already one year, we saw all kinds of economic systems emerge, some more individualistic and greedy, others more focused on making everyone win and avoiding monopolies.
However, the greatest learning we, the coordinators of the activity, learned was that after 7 or 8 rounds, many groups suddenly paralyzed, entered an impasse, and we literally felt a murmur in all the groups.
Several players stood up and stated that if they continued playing by the same rules, everyone or the majority would lose. And a voice said: let's get out of the game and set the rules ourselves...
There was applause, there were shouts of approval and volunteering, and they took action, changing the system. An experience in human behavior that left its mark on me.
I don't know if my anecdote can be applied to Steemit, and that's not what I intended either. I'd just say that when they found themselves "with the noose around their necks," in that group and on that occasion, the condemned, the victims, the guilty, and the executioners all came to an agreement.
Separate point.
I declare myself a dummy when it comes to blockchain and have searched for easy-to-understand information in Spanish about "EverSteem" and "etainclub ." I have translated from Chinese and remain the same (I don't know what to do). I am interested in participating and, if you have anything in English about these projects, I offer to translate it and present it as publications.
I hope the translator remains faithful to my ideas...
Thank you.
That's a very interesting example of how people reacted to the impasse at your convention. We can hope that people in the Steem ecosystem will eventually find some sort of agreement on a more productive way forward.
I really think there are a lot of possibilities to be explored, and I agree with the @trafalgar quote that it's not a matter of greed, but rather it's an ecosystem that hasn't found the right incentive structure yet.
I also haven't participated there because the language makes it difficult to understand. I just mentioned it because I know that the project is pursuing reward delivery to historical posts.

Hi,
Well, I decided to try it without knowing much, and I published a first post from the https://blog.etain.club/ interface.
