Steemit was such a great place,
Long before the idea of rape,
A friendly comment and vote,
On the other hand,
Plagiarism and spam grabbed ahold,
Bot support bought with greed,
At least @berniesanders engages folks,
A user who hasn't given up hope,
Does the core team truly give a fuck,
I dream too they aren't here for a quick buck,
I wish one day they would realize,
This place could be different,
My request doesn't seem too extreme,
Kindness and community was the theme,
Trash collected here in one spot,
Now this dumpster fire is all we got.
I haven’t given up hope either my friend. There are hundreds of us here...we are just buried under hundreds of posts. At least @berniesanders has the courage to speak things exactly as it is. If we give up hope this platform will eventually die.
Who wants that? You have to be mentally ill if anyone wants such a revolutionary project to die. I won’t pretend to be a saint. I am here for the rewards as 99.9% of us. I once even dreamt that Steemit could change my life(I know..it is silly) Who knows....it might will. But I ain’t giving up...nor hope nor the efforts.
It is a platform with many flaws for now, were mostly whales are benefiting but it is also a great chance for everyone to make something different. Steemit has been a life changer in some occasions...I’ve seen it through great posts mostly in third world countries. Just never give up hope and keep dreaming my friend.
Honestly, it has been a life changer for many people I know personally before I joined. But now, it isn't any life changer from the look of things. It doesn't matter how great your post maybe, if you ain't followed by an active whale, forget it.
It was nice for my friends to tell me about steemit but now, it isn't great telling people about it because it all seem like a big lie.
excelente reflexión @mindtrap
Steem is a joke. Anyone that strolls in to check it out will only hear about steem rape/theft, whale bitchfests, and sociopaths like @berniesanders upvoting themselves and down voting their "enemies" whatever that means on a fucking website... This place is like 4Chan but with a a couple of dollars added in to really bring out the worst in people. But who gives a fuck? The money involved is pennies at this point and dropping...... Unless you've invested huge amounts to try to make a business out of it... What a waste, you can make more money in a day in the crypto, stock and futures markets....
It would be great if everyone could have your sense of humour @justinashby
