yet they usually don't provide any kind of solution...just an endless rant about flags...about whales...about witnesses...about ninja minted stakes...
Preach it, brother.
When those people drop a comment on my blog I give them an upvote the same as anyone else, but I look at their comment history and see that every single comment they've made in the recent past is some contrarian condescending complaint. It's very hard to take these people seriously when they are simply using the platform to vent their negative feelings 24/7...
So I don't.
The ninja mined stake doesn't matter. Our initial distribution was going to be trash no matter how they did it, just like every other platform. In fact, we are now less prone to regulation because of it... good job Steemit Inc.
Downvotes help the platform more than hurt it. The personal experience of a few salty Steemians has no effect on the economy as a whole.
Blah Blah Blah
Preaching to the choir.
