RE: Thank You, Steem! It's Been Quite a Ride 💙
There's a lack of engagement now and as you said in another comment, the platform only benefits the few now which in a way it always has but this is becoming more pronounced.
The possibility of of it empowering especially the people who needed a boost is what brought me here along with the chance to read great content which has also diminished. There are too many people 'up their own arses' and suggested changes will only make the problem of reward distribution skew even further in the direction of the ever increasingly powerful.
I wish you every happiness and hope you get well soon...I hear jigsaws are pretty safe ;-)
Finally, don't forget that everything we experience is an instantly temporary state.
There will still be a beer here in Bangkok with your name on it.
Stay wet n wild lady
Thank-you

Nathen! Your comments have always put a smile on my face, and you know that. Big times!
Too many have opted for short term gain instead of long term invest here, and that's why the whole ecosystem doesn't work anymore. There's not enough incentives to produce and reward good content, and those who could make a difference don't want to since they highly benefit from the situation as it is.
A fish rots from the head down.
Talking about engagement: I don't think I have ever received more comments on any of my articles than on this one here, haha. I guess that's quite characteristical.
Enjoy life, Nathen - and that beer with my name on it :-)
Big hugs
you are right
Greed leads to perdition in the latter, unfortunately
People will never stop being greedy. But you can create an algorithm that incentivizes less greedy behavior, hence more community-oriented action.
I hope so
