If enough larger stakeholders have the same mentality, maybe the extractors will contribute more instead of this 'take mentality'. We can do nothing or try and change perceptions.
As I said, probably nothing will happen but we can only try and change people's ideals.
I'm not a new guy. I've been trying to offer advice for years to help counter the consistent issues this platform runs into. It's falling on deaf ears, so now I want to listen.
Pretend I'm a new guy. You want me to follow this model citizen approach.
What is my incentive? How does this make money. What is the plan?
Diminishing the 'take mentality' even to near zero does nothing to increase the value of anyone's holdings. More people powering up contributes to decentralization, which is a good thing. However, that means more people have a say in where rewards go which increases the odds of those rewards landing on potential sellers. All members are potential sellers.
Attempting to micromanage this small town leads nowhere. Eight years, going in circles, with no plan. This isn't even the first time you've done a post like this with similar thoughts. It won't work next time either.

Maybe realize I'm trying to help.
It's hard to watch.
I know you mean well but I don't want to be dragged into a large debate. Did you see the number of comments here? I try and respond to them all, but I only have so much time.
I just got out of bed and there's another bunch of lengthy comments to read and respond to. This is why I rarely write HIVE articles.
I can respect that. Wasn't looking for a debate. Just some answers. I didn't think it was a difficult question.
And I don't take it personally.
Just know. We're not all making a mess by voting blind. I'm not interested in helping clean up that mess. All my votes were placed by hand. I understand every vote I hand out is money out the door regardless. I value what I vote for so I guess I don't mind paying for it.
If we valued this payment system and promoted it as a better option for consumers on the internet, we'd have members that are potential buyers, not just sellers, and wouldn't be in this jam. There wouldn't be any need to pinch pennies, and people actually interested in content don't screw that up.
That's all I have to say. And I know what it's like to sit and respond to comments. I don't even need to write posts to enjoy that experience lol.
They don't have answers, just rhetorics.
Give it a few days and it's back to business as usual.
Most people on the internet wouldn’t be reading the cringe garbage about this topic.
I'm coming from a place of respect. And I know wherever I go, I don't get through to anyone. Doesn't bother me.
Business as usual, bothers me. And I know it's one of those situations: "If you don't like it, leave."
Like everyone else did. Sell your shit, get your name dragged through the mud, as people congratulate one another.
Why isn't that in the brochure? Should be obvious that's where this leads.
So yeah this looks cringe all around and is kind of embarrassing. While on this end I'm battling; trying to find ways to still care. And I honestly think we can do better.
Call me crazy.
8 years. Same suggestion. Regardless of market conditions. Hasn't been tried.
You are polite. It’s not a bad thing.
I’m just crass and throw jabs from time to time.
Yes, maybe they would, no more politics from me, will keep my ideas to myself...
... and what is my incentive for responding to this?
I don't want to be dragged into a large debate.
Ah, Boohoo! I came here for the debate.
