RE: BuzzSteem Ep. 24 [Why UpVote Bots Must Go, Thunderclap, Account Policing and More!]
ELIMINATING VOTING BOTS!!! WOHOOO!!! I'm 100% with you @bethwheatcraft! I already love you for you being anti haejin and anti bot.
And respect for your courage and the brave for shooting against those powerful people. I wrote an article some weeks ago about indirect censorship because of people only having the fear being flagged to death for criticizing powerful users.
It's rather frustrating. I straddle the line between really saying what I want and yet still restraining myself. It doesn't do me or anyone else any good if I offend someone like @berniesanders and have him go through and downvote all my posts into oblivion. Then I make no money and my followers never see my posts.
I hate that everyone talks about Steemit as this perfect oasis to escape to for freedom of speech, when it is just as limiting as YouTube. The most powerful people on here, the shareholders, hold the majority of the wealth, and therefore can absolutely crush someone into the ground for their opinion alone, if they don't like what you have to say. Some of the whales are extremely immature and it's hard to believe that they hold the future of Steemit in their hands. But as I said, if this doesn't work out, something bigger and better will come along! I love Steemit, but what I am really in love with is this idea of independence, decentralization and compensation for time spent. To me time is money, and it's such an evolutionary idea to be compensated for your time, even if it's not a traditional job.
Why the fuck would you want to offend ME of all people?!
I guess this was just an example because you’re so popular here and opinions about you go in very different directions ;)
