RE: Friday the 13th | You just got shat by the Grumpy Cat
Must be rant-day today, mav. Just published my own.
It is true what you say: there are so many things wrong here. I have the same questions you have, and I have serious doubts about leaving the platform at least once a week.
Decentralization is a bubble. So is freedom of speech. You have to stay on the good side of the big guys or you’re gone. ‘Rules’ are made up and enforced by whoever has the biggest wallet.
STINC doesn’t give a shit.
So why are we still here? For the money, I guess (It’s such a shame there isn’t a sarcastic font)
I wish I could tell you it will be all right, it will be fine. But I guess all I can do is hope you enjoy your beer, and say ‘Cheers’ while I grab mine...
Hahah apparently it is that kind of Friday that we need to rant in order to keep sane.
I have always rooted for the platform despite its flaws and believed in the good of man and how things maybe different. GC just proved me wrong that money still makes the world go round here and have enough money and you are untouchable.
Funny how we are expected to be good and be engaged and don't question the big guys or else get that flag.
After a night of drinking it made me think why am I even here and spending time.
I know why I am here. For the fun and the people (and the occasional rant).
For a while, I thought things on SteemIt were differebt from the real world. But then it struck me: why would it? People are people and money and power go hand in hand. There will always be people who are thirsty for power. And power can almost always be bought with money.
That’s just how life is...
I have different values. And I’m trying to live my life according to my own values. I’m trying to be above those who are so narrow minded. Not always easy, but I try to comfort myself with the idea that maybe they will learn some day. And if they don’t, it’s their loss.
Now, don’t drink and Steem! Just drink and have fun!
