Please stop this.
Youre continuing to establish the idea that everyone should write STEEM related content making the community even more of an echo chamber filled with clones.
Please stop. This is no way to attract mainstream audiences. Everyone outside Curie and OCD already ignores 99% of non crypto content.
At least you dont have to make it worse.
You have the sidebar, use it, but stop featuring posts. This sends a bad message across.
The content is already one sided as is.
@andrarchy
I think it would be much worse for people to not know what we're working on for the platform. We've made major changes in regards to our level of communication this year. This is one way that we can make sure a majority of our users see our regular updates and important announcements.
No. Thats what the sidebar is for. Featured posts are free promotion and by pushing Steem related content up you create an echo chamber and you push creators to copy the people that get featured because getting featured means whale votes.
And we all want whale votes.
How do you get them? Copy what the featured guys do.
Its a very bad idea.

I have to agree the sidebar is a better place for this content.

No. The sidebar is terrible and doesn't help with the same goal. You seem to have the wrong idea about what gets chosen to be featured also . But that's all up for discussion.
No i got pretty clear idea. Lol. "Steem related posts that are seen as important for the community".
It is even clearly stated in the context of this post.
Its an awful idea. Trending is full of trash posts that are put there without proof of brain and now they want to give away more spots that arent community voted? To steemians that andrarchy follows and posts that talk about steem. +all the things ive written above.
I repeat. Tragic idea. Do not do it.

Experience has not shown me that they change their minds because anyone said, "I do not like it...for this or that reason." Mostly they only tell us what they have already decided on and then in a show of being 'democratic', they ask us.
So, it is not that I tried to give you upvotes for the money - I only wanted to show you/give you my support by increasing the number of upvotes given to you.
Thanks for trying.
Only changes from Steemit inc.
Plenty of people outside of curie and OCDB look at non crypto content.

That is true. I look at #Informationwar and #FreeWrite
Updates should be in the sidebar like you said. But featured posts can be pinned to the top of the newsfeed. The top 100 witnesses should vote on which posts are featured. There should be a limited amount of slots for featured posts each day.
