You know how many posts I have made since the beginning of that milk challenge?
None. I haven't made any post. That's how much hoot I give about the entire premise. It's funny, though. When there's a call for engagement, I stop interacting with people. But, don't worry. I will make it up to you all by making a bunch of posts. Well, at least more posts than I usually write anyhow.
I'm not much of a milk person because I'm not a "professional" content creator like some people. I'm not bored enough to do "proof of click" mining like some of the larger stakeholders on the platform. In @abitcoinskeptic's own words, I'm someone who writes in his spare time.
I get it. Everyone wants to make money and it makes no sense to power up your STEEM to only reward others. I understand that the purchase of tokens was an investment. But, the fomo is causing some folks to do questionable things.
Things got so bad that an elaborate scheme to burn and fix the peg popped up. Who cares? Why don't you all start voting for yourselves instead? Oh wait, the community fought several Steemians that did that, so you can't go full hypocrite now.
There are plenty of garbage or okay stuff to vote on, but you have deemed them unworthy of your votes. Because you know, where do you think the rewards come from? It only makes sense to burn and fix that peg. Never mind how burning a gigaton of tokens won't do anything. Ask Stellar. What has their burning done for them besides increasing their founders' relative shares?
I wrote a post almost two years ago about how things would devolve like we see today. People love "placeholders for voting". It's not about the content. It's all a guise with no substance.
You see those "daily photography" posts? They are placeholders. You see that dumb as hell "@steemhunt review"? That's another placeholder. You see some Korean fish receiving downvotes? You bet it's done by a different circlejerk. You see that jackass still using profitable bots? He's wanking in his own corner.
"But, what you mean?"
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
What I'm trying to say is...it's about the kids.
