Don't Confuse NewSteem with EasySteem
NewSteem started as a Marketing Campaign and turned into a paradigm shift.
I never said it was easy Steem, I didn't say it solves all of our problems.
An attitude of Pride in what we do can certainly change things. A willingness to allow the new financial incentives to take hold can change things. Using both upvotes and downvotes to curate and fight abuse can change things.
Allowing the change in active management at SteemIt Inc, to be a part of our success, but also not counting on them to carry the load can change things.
Allowing funds to start to grow for use on community projects through the SPS can change things.
Giving people the ability to build their own tokens and tribes via Scot tokens and new apps can change things. It can also add multiple layers of incentive and that can certainly change things.
Adding affordability in hardware to our witnesses and exchanges via MIRA can absolutely change things.
All of those things together are powerful changes, but the PEOPLE and stakeholders of Steem are who will have to do the work.
We will have to work through many challenges including learning how to give and accept downvotes gracefully, no longer allowing abuse, giving community onbaorders and curation teams resources all of those things will have to be done by the community.
OldSteem is Dead- We can't go back in time.
Easy Steem where everyone rains money on you, just how you like it... Is impossible...
NewSteem is here and it is up to us what we make of it!
Get onboard this is NewSteem. Stop living in a world that no longer exists.
OldSteem is already dead,
It's time for NewSteem and that means work. It isn't EasySteem.
...but EasySteem sounds like such a fun and magical place with Lambos and Unicorns.
It does... :)
Fomo lambos and unicorns... Where do I sign up?

As long as NewSteem remains as clunky as OldSteem, with minor improvements on the distributions side, I'm all for it.
We gotta keep dem noobs out ;)
Can't make it too easy to use.

Many of the tribes can create onboarding, moderation, and even help desks.
This is NewSteem. It isn't done. The noobs are welcome if they want to be a part of building a thing. If they can't figure it out maybe it is too early for them.
I'm obviously trolling - a bit. It shouldn't be too early for noobs. As long as it is, this product isn't ready. We need to be aware of this.

That's completely false. The Internet was new once. I worked there. Computers were new once. I worked there too.
Amazon was new once. (I never worked there)
We are building, we will be building, you don't wait until something is done to tell people where you are going.
The internet was new once. Limited, slow, and ugly. But many features were rather obvious and intuitive. Like IM, email, forums, news. This sucked users in. Limitless money during the dotcom era to build out infrastructure probably also played a big part.
Depending on how far back you want to go, there was never too much technical expertise required to use it.
I feel like Steem has made crypto more accessible to a broader audience beyond tech nerds and gamblers. But it is still important to familiarise yourself with technical details to a degree that can be a bit much - to regular folk.

@jerrybanfield is raining money these days. He shut down his bid-bot and now is offering free 100% upvotes with his 500K sp. He's offering this to 4000 steemers.
If you are interested, go to this post:
https://steemit.com/steem/@jerrybanfield/67-4000-automatic-daily-upvote-spots-claimed
And sign up for Jerry's newsletter. You will get one upvote each day by taking this action, remaining active, and staying subbed to him.
I'm getting this vote now, and very grateful. Hoping some of the other whales will also spread the love post-fork.
Thanks for the info, I'll let other accounts that need to build take advantage of that.
He's offering this to 4000 people, @whatsup. I do not think he will get that many anytime soon. You can always, drop off if he gets to his limit. I'm certain he will announce such a success.
I am very interested to see if he CAN get to his limit. And secondly interested to see if any other whales/orcas do something similar.
I'm thinking he is counting on curation revenue to rain on him. Not sure, but watching this like a hawk.
What is the name of his bot account that is doing the upvotes? I think I just got one from it...mangos?

No - mangos is something else, @nickyhavey. It will come to your post randomly - do not know why.
Jerry uses his own name. If you confirmed and did not get a vote he might be overwhelmed. If he got 100 people in a day - that would be a lot of work.
Ah OK, well I thank mangos for their upvote then 😁
I think the time frame said 24-48 hours si just gotta wait for it all to be set up I guess. Can imagine a flood of people going towards it and signing up 🙂

Did your vote start yet, @nickyhavey?
Yes I am getting them through from his main account but looks like his VP is slashed to 0 and so upvotes are not worth a great amount @fitinfun

He (Jerry Banfield) is flirting with WEKU. He made a video interview with them a while back.
Yes, he flirts with many. I have been on his lists for many more years that I have been here. He is always into something.
Just like me. @jerrybanfield introduced me to Steem. Now you all know who to blame 🤣
Well, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS!
You are so welcome, @deeanndmathews. @freewritehouse is on my list to spread this to, but I am only one person, lol.
I know. He is upvoting me! 🤣 but one must sign up for his newsletter.
It shouldn’t be easy as nothing easy has value and would not be worth staking for the future. #newsteem

So much of this! I am glad it isn't easy.
Thanks for bringing such a positive perspective to this platform, new steem hype :^)
I believe that we will succeed - I now check for what I vote. And I try to spread the need for better posts myself. Do not vote for ugly posts - comment (your opinion, even a negative one is very important)
You said a mouthful! Hard work is the only way one can get ahead. Be it manual labour or, using one's noggin. Neither is easy and require stick-to-itness (is that even a word?).

OldSteem is soooo first half of 2019.
You nailed it! lol
Going forth with the NewSteem as a part of the community. What is EasySteem? I have always worked for mine :)
Yes, you have.
