Why HF21 will further erode the Steem platform and reward those who are out to destroy it
Image credit several stock images blended into this here image
HF21 has no clothes and I am not afraid to say it. I am not the only one to see it formerly dedicated content creators like
@dreemsteem are leaving the platform and she will not be the last. Let me give you a small example of the negative impact only one of the new features of this clusterfuck will cause- the 50- 50 split between content creators and so called curators .
We all know camillesteemer the idiot that has nothing better to do but downvote people she does not like from a plethora of accounts. The accounts she targets are usually posts of high quality, she targets these as she was exposed as repeat plagiariser and she never forgave the community for being shamed for it. At this time her downvotes hold little to no weight as the community retaliated by downvoting her posts to hell and her new accounts have not accumulated enough power with the reposting she does . This will change with the 50- 50 split she will be making substantially more steeem/ steempower /steemBD and will use it to further target content creators. How long do you think people with real content will take this kind of shit? It is bad enough that everything the community has asked for is regularly ignored but to add insult to injury you are going to reward assholes? This will have consequences …
I personally am more than disgusted and while i am not leaving Steem yet I will also not be posting as much once the hardfork hits. I am staying here for the people i care about but once the last ones of them are gone be aware that i will not be staying here either- unless things change for the better. I put my heart and soul in this platform, there was so much potential it could have been world changing had not the greed of a few turned it into a malformed creature that now barely crawls where it had the potential to fly and cause lasting change. Watching this platform die has been one of the most demoralising experiences of my life. i know some will laugh and say “it’s just the internet “ and that i am bing over dramatic- and no I have not lived under a rock - i have seen wa , famine , extreme poverty, torture and death more times then I would like to remember. so no i do not lack real world hardships, it is the potential i mourn. It was in our reach- the possibility to help people by giving them a way to create and earn money, by creating a platform that could have financed everything from individuals , to art , to science projects and open source engineering . We could have financed orphanages , homeless shelters created a real world system to use steem as payment for real world goods. And what did we do with it ? This … so yeah I am more than disappointed that human greed once again destroyed something good and now HF21 is coming to pick the bones …
P.S - fun fact camillesteemer took the time to have several of her account downvote this post usually she only graces me with one or two ...LOL don't worry boo with 50/50 you actually might become someone...

This sublinear curve will nail the coffin shut, imo.
Then we will be trapped in this box, but undead.
Sadly, as you know... I agree.
People keep putting my name as a prominent member of steemit... Lol
I'm not. I'm just someone who enjoyed it, believed in it and tried to encourage people to also see the potential.
I no longer believe in it but I think that's was my own fault. I felt that this had the potential to be greater than what was already out there, but as we see... And as SO MANY people have said to me in DM (where people truly speak their mind)
"So you see that Steemit is just like the real world... Why did you expect anything less when it's made of real people with real greed?"
Ouch.
Well. Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
My heart, time, energy, laughter, joy, positivity, and money will now go exclusively to building Spunkee Monkee for families to thrive.
It may fail... But it won't fail for lack of integrity, I can promise you that.
Tell me about spunkee monkee

let's hope ...
Like @dreemsteem, sadly, I agree.
There are so many things we could have done with this platform, had it not been for jerkoff early adopters raping the reward pool for themselves. Repeatedly and habitually.
Reminds me of our current government.
I'm not leaving the platform, I am staying for the wonderful people and communities I've found here, but pretty much all of us are expanding out to other platforms in order to expand our reach.
And, frankly, to try and build what we should have been able to build on this platform, had abusive whales not shoved their self-serving HFs down all our throats.
I'll say again, they shouldn't even be called whales, since real whales are all about helping one another, including protecting and helping the least among them.
Steemit "whales" have proven repeatedly that the rest of us are meaningless in their estimation. They're in it strictly for themselves.

Im not staying in the same form (aka posting) ... but I will be hovering and encouraging and spreading tips around through @tipu :) I will still be supporting my community - because that is the BEST aspect of steem - no matter how hard they try to destroy it.
I won't be upvoting... but rather I'll be using @tipu since i can give 100% of my appreciation to the author directly into their wallet! (and not be worried about skimming 50% off for myself)
super glad that @cardboard gave that as an option to this platform. and that surely will be in my final post tonight :)
nods ...I see discord as more of a home at this point
exactly.... well - the vast majority has stopped reading and leaving meaningful comments on steemit anyway. discord is where the relationships are flourishing.
i'll definitely keep that - and still support the people i can through tips and comments until a better option comes along.
Yeah, I switch back and forth, but my rural connectivity still makes text a lot easier than voice.

and..... it DOES remind me also of our government.
hmmmmm wasn't this supposed to be oh-so-different? ha. ha. ha.
All worlds we build will reflect the ones we live in until the lion share get off their behinds, stop waiting for a saviour and create that world themselves ...
which is exactly what I plan on doing. hehehe
great minds think alike ;)
;)
Yeah, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Sigh

"...it could have been world changing had not the greed of a few turned it into a malformed creature that now barely crawls where it had the potential to fly and cause lasting change."
Sad
😥
The word 'monetized' does not have to go hand in hand with 'greed'.
agreed but for this to happen a different kind of structure needs to be created ....
