I didn't know that's how it worked. Thanks for the info. In theory I agree with you.. We should not collectivize such things, however.. I also think no transaction fees is nice and an important pull. So.. I'm a little mixed on the issue. I wonder if there's another solution? Definitely something to think about more and will resteem so your message hopefully gets seen by more.

It's not "there's no transaction fees instead the witnesses get paid". The witnesses will still get paid, transaction fees or not.

>More generally, I prefer each one to pay for each of one's actions.
With no subsidy by inflation which makes the cost collectivized.

Except that would mean you pay for your vote, you pay for your post, you pay for your comment, do you pay by the letter?

Sounds like taxation by requiring people to pay a fee. Is it not enough all the people telling others who, how often, and what, to vote for that now we need people telling others that you need to pay a tax for every transaction on steemit? That is the surest way to kill the freedom that steemit brings to many people. Also if spammers and scammers are can "freely send to bid bots" did you not also use a couple of bid bots for your post? Or is this another case of do as I say, not as I do, type post.<br>
I do not need someone to tell me how to vote or how to use my vote power, any more than I need someone telling me I need to pay a transaction fee for this or for that, and then for this and then for that like a fricken bankster. If you want to pay transaction fees then find a place that will charge you for this and for that and don't forget the fee's for that other thing. Oh but wait...this group can't afford the fees so let them do it for free ...I am sure there are plenty of those type place in the internet, and on the blockchains that have been created, so you should not have any trouble finding a <b>faster</b> blockchain than steemit because they charge <b>fees</b><br>
It seems to me that of all the blockchains that are mentioned <b><i>steemit</i></b> that charges no fees is the <b>FASTEST</b>, so of course there are going to be people wanting steemit to charge fees, I wonder why, is it because the ones that charge fees are so much slower than steemit? Sorry---<b>I don't buy your reasoning</b>.

Highly rEsteemed!

... which means I agree.
