When a train crashes we don't tear up the tracks. Especially not when there are still resources. As a collective we treat the wounded, move the broken trains, check the tracks for damage and begin the process of rebuilding.
From the beginning of Steem it's often seemed like a Train Wreck waiting to happen. And it did.
However, we still have users, engagement, resources and most importantly a market need to take the next steps and clean up.
So, in a way it's a chance for a fresh start. We often had constant conflict between content creators and other projects and we got focused on "Quality Content again and again. Due to that focus at times we let projects get defunded or attacked for the sake of trying to vote up the best articles. Yet, it never seemed like we achieved it, because stakeholders all have different opinion of what hold value.
What should we focus on now while we are rebuilding?
It's time to consider what do we WANT and seeing if we are able to influence. Currently both chains feel threatened by the other side, but maybe that isn't the long-term view. We've seen some delegations coming back. We know there will be community curators.
What else should we focus on?
- New Dapps?
- Content?
- Rewarding casual content that is more consistent to most social media?
- Your ideas?
