We could name a 100 things that we would want different but in the end we have to deal with what we have now and what we have now is 6-7 potato/burnpost trending posts.
You could claim those posts have value since people are voting them but there is no escaping that they are shitposts and whenever someone comes here they see those shitposts.

People that agree with my stance are in the overwhelming majority in numbers yet in minority stake. (Dig through the posts on this topic)
Stake does trump numbers here which is why everyone is trying to appeal to common sense of those running these projects.
This isnt a good look for Steem and another thing to consider is the creators that see towards what the rewards are going. This isnt encouraging anyone to remain here but rather killing motivation.
Im not saying we should be bound by what others feel and think but if youre a big stake holder you probably should consider it and weigh the pros vs cons when doing burnpost/sbdpotato type projects.

There was this dapp on Steem that was like quora. They had placeholder posts for their comments.
Why not stop making these Burnpost posts and simply vote comments, 10 of them a day at lower values?
