We are now well on the second month of Hard Fork 21, and I think that the most decisive judgement of it not doing any good is that now I am constantly seeing Steemit bombarded with articles about how great things are, mostly written by people who were the ones who were on the front line promoting the hard fork or as is more common lately writing posts about how even though it isn't so great we will reap the profits later, somehow like Brexit. To me it seems these guys have made a kind of cheerleader squad were when any of their group writes something positive about HF21 it is just exploded with upvotes. And then also, unfortunately also come the butt kissers who will say anything as long as they think they can get something out of it.
Of course to me this comes as no surprise, before hard fork I did post a lot of articles stating that this would happen HF21 would be good for that little group of people who manipulate things around here, now of course my prose is not that good so my posts might not make for good reading but the ideas were there. For writing those articles I was called among other things: a fucktard, an imbecile, also things like "if you hate Steemit that much why don't you get the hell out of here".
But it seems right now we are at a point that even the most fervent admirers of said hard fork are having second thoughts, things are just not going their way, you know another thing they told me - What do you prefer a larger share of an ever dwindling reward pool or a smaller share of an ever growing reward pool? This is what will happen with HF21.
But no, what we are actually getting is an ever dwindling share of an ever dwindling reward pool, and that sucks. You people have to understand, downvotes are not going to get you anywhere, maybe you get a cozy feeling and think well that is one bastard I fucked with my downvote but you are actually also fucking yourself. That reward curve that is even more stupid than the downvotes I don't think I even have to expand on that. And as for killing bid bots just check how much profit @freedom makes off of his bid bot delegations every day, it doesn't look like a debacle for bid bots to me.
And then we come to 50/50 curation the cure everything idea, except it cures nothing and in fact has been the last straw for some of the few remaining qaulity authors on this platform. Steemit is a great idea, sadly I think it is going down the drain because of some mighty dumb ideas some people come up with.
Oh, yeah we are going to have SMT's now that is going to solve everything, maybe but I have a bad feeling about this at first I was also enthusiastic but two years on and after a lot of lies I am less gung ho.
