RE: Steemit's Soul is For Sale
I did read and understand actually.. You think it got "censored" because the tags dont display, ned explained theres a bug that only shows the top 25 tags (ordered by pending payout afaik) and because a few posts paid out pizzagate dropped out of that list.
There are no posts tagged pizzagate within the last 24hrs with anything more then $1 earnings right now.
Like I said, the site is open source you can search the site code yourself for the magic pizzagate filter - you wont find it.
This bug isn't some conspiracy by steemit to suck up to Alefantis, I bet it reappears next time automatically the next time a pizzagate post trends. No human involvement/tweaking, its just how the site displays based on pending payouts..
The tags page is shit and doesn't show all tags, this has been complained about for months - its not a conspiracy.
Bookmark the link that ned the ceo just directly gave you that has ALL pizzagate posts in order of creation - https://steemit.com/created/pizzagate
Please stop with the melodramatic bullshit over a simple glitch that heaps of people have already tried to explain to you
Thanks for this info. I didn't know that there have been complaints about the tags page, nor did I realize it was based on trending....or that post-payout affected this. I agree that it is shit though...there are tags I posted under I would like to show up.

Look how few posts there are now about pizzagate. the "bug" strategy is clearly working.
I see, but it seems to me that we are witnessing "the-low-tide-before-the-high-tide". There is only so much that can be dug up at one time. The lull in posts about this subject may be due to dead ends or even due to timing issues. It (pizzagate) isn't dead. It is just "cooking". I am sitting on (and researching) a thread to be exposed at the correct time. :). I understand your concern, but don't hold onto it like dogma. Hocham's Razor...

@homalinadir Occam's razor... and holding onto something till change is made is a way to get them to fix it. If I don't who will?
I am voicing my opinion and nobody will censor it.
You earn dollars off Steemit and I understand your motivation. I'm sure Steemit will continue just fine regardless of my post so you will keep earning your dollars. You go your way and I'll go mine. I'm not going to bother with your melodramatic insults.
sigh I never insulted you, you just fail at reading - believe what you want. I'm not going to feel bad that my posts are finally earning money, the point wasn't to brag, the point was the earnings are the mechanism for deciding which tags display.
No pizzagate earnings = no pizzagate tag
It's not complicated
yes well I earned very nicely off it just a few days ago remember? and you helped with that. My goal on here is to promote a post for awareness with sbd. my point is, how can it suddenly earn nothing when it was earning so well? think about it...
Replying here because of depth limit..
I remember seeing that, I was stoked to see you finally have some luck there.
Both your post and my pizzagate git repo post both paid out not far from each other. THATS when and why the tag got removed from the side - because we had the last trending pizzagate posts. Give it a few days, some more shit will turn up and it'll come back.
I'm 100% positive this is not censorship of pizzagate - you can literally see every change made to the site via the github commit log https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/commits/master
I get notifications of all changes and new issues and actually track whats happening behind the scenes where I can and I know that the founders are passionate about free speech and value the strength of steemit as a censorship proof platform. If they went and blatantly censored an entire topic I would be livid - that's not what's happening here.
Just 4 days ago... sudden drop and switch. I'm not going to say any more. But you get my point.
