Thanks for the tag! I appreciate you putting your argument in numbers and I can understand your point on why you are worried but we also cannot account for all the widespread behavioural changes that will go along with it it won't be a simple case of A and now its B.
- Yes people will get less for posting
- Yes people won't earn that much from curation
But STEEM is starting to outgrow the one use case, which is blogging, there are plenty of ways to earn steem now as well as tokens that can now supplement your efforts.
- What if your rewards go down but the value of steem goes up? Does that offset the change?
- What if those who aren't bloggers and want to be passive consumers of content can now have more of a place and say in the system? Is that such a bad thing?
We all know the system isn't perfect and no matter how you slice it the haves will always benefit over the have nots. I just see it as the harder it is to earn the more you value it the less likely to sell, the more pressure to HODL and the better the scarcity which is good for the community.
As a tech entrepreneur myself, I side on to take a chance, fail fast and learn from it, making a decision has never been a bad move, not making one has always been a bad move. Take a step back, take step to the side or take a step forward all creates momentum, but taking no steps will see you quickly see you fade into obscurity.
As someone who makes their living on the internet, I know exactly how hard it is to generate an income and I've diversified into various streams both in business and personal income streams to mitigate any risk. Which is why I strongly feel people shouldn't make this one platform there be an end-all for rewards.
If this HF is truly the end of steem, I will have lost some money but have fond memories of my time here. I know hardly anyone feels this way but yeah I still believe we're in a position to become something better. Call me an eternal optimist
I will keep my relationshiops here no matter what!!!!
In that sense...I won't have lost anything that truly matters.
The money? Eh. @crimsonclad mentioned that she doesn't make minimum wage for her time here and I agree. I think i make 30 cents per hour on a good day. (And I work very hard for that 30 cents )
So I think we can all agree we aren't here for the money.
Here is my point.
THE HAVES DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION TO HAVE MORE. Especially out of my 30 cents an hour.
And the point is not the value of steem. The point is we earn something now as our Steem salary, and just like any job...you are coming in the next day to a 33% salary cut.
The boss is getting that in his paycheck to go on vacation.
You ok with that? If you are...lol you're the exactly the type of person that they want here.
No. Not me. Taking from my wallet and putting it into theirs is not acceptable.
For what? What is the benefit???
If more people want to have more say as curators... Let them
What's stopping them? Want to curate? Do it!
That's what they tell us right?
If we want to create content we should do it for the love of it and not for money... Ok so then that applies to them too. You wanna curate? Go for it. Money shouldn't matter. do it for the love of it like we do.
Fail fast happened with HF20.
Not real keen on going through that again.
It's ok. I don't need to produce content.i can easily still be a part of the steem community and be a curator, solely.
It's not like steem is gonna die without my posts!
We can all sit back and curate all the big accounts. That will be fun, probably.
P.s.
No one yet has said anything about the VERY REAL FACT that there is a LOT OF GREEN bars on that chart .... And they are the ones voting FOR this proposal????
I'm not talking about back room deals or conspiracy theories. Im talking about FACTS on a public blockchain. That is exactly what is being proposed.
Still waiting to hear why anyone is ok with that.
So what ways of making Steem other than creating content is there? Note, I said creating a content... not all content on the platform is blogging.
