Before start, not trying to blame you perdonally. Dont even known you, sorry it sounds personal. Trully.
Returning to the topic:
Steem is working, not at his fully potential, but what leave hf20 behind? Not much really, newcommers have more problems, spam slightly changes and some ussers makes a lot of money by curating only. When finally some SP distribution start to (slightly) change over months, they do this. Change the rules of the game in the name of some poor kings?
First of all, i dont care much about stackers. I mean, if you consider for example Steemit Inc as a stacker, they are just putting his own interest over all. Not surprised, after all it seems like Steem has owners no matter what the speach of "descentraliced platform" the reality tells another story.
Can i blame them for just care about money? Maybe not, snakes are designed to bite, isnt his "fault" (is a metafore, im not saying snakes to them, even when it fits)
Steem is $0.4 not because content creators, there is a lot of energy out there. The decission making is ultra centralized. But all the punish is always targeted to those who have no voice at all. Why content creators (even the amateurs as im) should be punish by the mistakes of those who are on the top of the food chain? Just because we are weak?
What is the difference betwen Facebook censorship and flagged content with no reason?
Both situations have the same pattern, strong people stomping little people.
There is no such thing as freedom of speech if what i wrote is almost invisible. Then a powerfull guy post a picture of a puppy and then cry about he is not earning! Its insane! Its like when politics say "well the market do this or that, and thats why we save the banks" what we turn into? Or even worst, this is all we are going to achieve? 10k users runing around with no purpose with our noses sticked to our business?
(Sry my horrible horrible english and if you felt attacked)
