Don’t get me wrong, they are great for what they do but anything short of speaking up just speaks to their approval of HF21. Prolific Curie curators have spoken up of course but as a larger entity it is politically useless.

I think this article sums it up with conflict of interest. I don’t think there is a consensus with the actors of Curie, nor do I think the mediation system exists internally in order to leverage it’s power over the community. Even if it did, we are dealing with a more or less apolitical entity designed to foster engagement within an array of strict parameters. The way I see it, Curie is poised to let history happened to it as opposed to taking charge of its own destiny.

Also, there is so much wrong with the premise of Steemit. These top witnesses own a large sum of their votes to how many inactive users who didn’t bother downvoting before they abandoned the platform? The whole idea that users get to manifest the reality we want to see is all falling apart.
