But I don't know what it is, either. We've all been over the "is it a lotto" thing-- it's not. That doesn't mean the steem-conomy makes sense.
It's probably notable that I basically threatened to ragequit steemit in my post. But I'm going to look at this differently from most, I think.
We've made good progress in the past day. I'll not be ragequitting. I do ask, however, that the community consider that there's a serious communication issue between 3rd party steem devs and the core team. Steemit needs to pull out all the stops to ensure that devs have no reason to leave the platform, since software development is the easiest way to grow the userbase and functionality of steemit.com.
@furion is a pal of mine. I did not make this post to ninny about unfairness. It's fair because he earned more upvotes, that's the bottom line here.
