Now just get rid of delegation. It has zero positive impact. 50/50, rewards curve, and removing delegation could make this place worthwhile to use again. Maybe.
But with delegation and the bid bots still being a thing, and votes being diluted to the point where you need to power up 1 million STEEM for your vote to even be worth a measly $20, I don't see this place as being worth it to be tbh.
Unless, of course, you delegate to me. Then it's fine. I promise to only upvote my own 10 posts a day at 100%, but at least I'm honest.
And to the people who are gonna say: "But the price of STEEM is so low, that's the reason!" I say that the situation was much better than what we currently have back when STEEM was worth 7 cents, so no, it's not the price of STEEM, it's the internal economics.
