RE: Steem is its own worst critic
People criticize when their expectations aren't met and they get disappointed. I think the older members who once were well supported can get desperate trying to remain relevant and this is even harder if they have sold their stake. Important people who are no longer regarded important get bitter and want to voice their displeasure.
There are one or two at the moment who seem to be bringing conversations up with nothing new to add, that have already been discussed heavily. One has added the GDP of a small country to their posts in the last few days to either get seen again or, make some profit. Either way, it doesn't come across as genuine. It is a pity.
the timing at the loss of a very large delegation doesn't help looking genuine.
so true, I'm glad others see it.
I saw it happen on Monday and was wondering what the outcome would be.
Excellent comment @tarazkp All I am seeing recently are many 'older' Steemians simply posting comment about the state of steem, whinging about changes, suggesting other changes and all the while raking in a fortune in rewards from their old Steemian mates. How does this look to future potentialminvestors or even just people who want to blog or play the DApps? There is far too much old skool backslapping and propping up members with very little to say thats new or interesting but thinkm they deserve their place at the head of the table simply due to the age of their account.

I understand your frustration but there is a pipeline in the works at all times. It is part of the process and the changing of the guard and the slow decline in cronyism takes time but will happen as new users and new options come into play. Those who are playing long games don't worry too much about the current state of affairs other than taking the small steps necessary to keep building.
Thanks for taking the time to give a great reply :-)

My advice is, don't spend too much voting power on those who don't take much time to apply. However, be understanding when large accounts that get many comments don't always get to everyone as it can take a crap load of time :D Also, many questions etc are answered in other comments. A really good way to build a good network is to find the people who comment well and follow them back to their blogs for a look.
Yes.
A real content creator can come in and make good money from day 1. Which makes the early Stake holders nervous.
Since they see that content creators will be the main star going forward. Someone is making value fast! Especially if they are not investing into content creators clearly that must breed some level of nervousness.
If Steem 5x in value and a person comes in and earns 5 Steem a day then that is 750 dollars in 30 days. So this illusion of scarcity has hit many people when they only look at the short term time frame.
Stake holders shouldn't try to be content creators if they are not. They can just invest into others and play the long game. Win-win on all sides. A paradigm shift is coming. It was here for a short while early 2018. It will come back again 1 day.
Very few in this industry understand anything long term, it is all about fast income. Those that do however will still be earning years from now on the work they put in today.
