Let's see if I can earn any money telling the truth on Steemit:
https://steemit.com/steem/@anonymint/lies-about-steem-and-steemitPlease consider upvoting me if you appreciate my effort. Lots effort has gone into this detailed analysis.
I hope @smooth upvotes me so he can show he was not overly biased by his large stake and thus showing the authorities he was not participating in misleading any investors. I would hope other whales have the similar conscience and rationality.
Of course I don't expect it to be upvoted.
You can criticize something without being aggressive with labels like "liiiiieeees", which then, due to creating friction and a bad environment, creates a self-validating prophecy of not getting upvotes.
I don't think smooth will upvote you, but then again, it's his vote. I won't (even if its worth 3 cents) due to the labels. We can have a mature conversation without them.
Excuses. Political correct circle-jerk systems are not informational. Useless system being confirmed.
You refuse to upvote a very detailed post which gives users and investors very valuable information not available in any other post, because of one-word you don't like, which is just an excuse for being butthurt and the word "lie" hurts you because you invested in this crap. It hurts your ego because you really thought this crap was great.
It's not what you say. It's the way you package it.
You confirm Steem is about political correctness that must match the dominant political slant on Steem, and not about the enormous amount of factual information and valuable content in the post.
If you think the creators of Steem don't already know the weaknesses I am pointing out, then you are delusional. Of course they lied. They had to lie. They had no other choice. They had this DPoS blockchain design that was going no where with Bitshares.
They even admit in the whitepaper that they are lying to users on purpose by using a quadratic weighting function for rewards, thus their intended effect of fooling the users into misjudging their earning capacity on the site.
I am now pointing out that the same sort of lies have been played on investors as well.
So Steem is going to censor any post with "Lie" in the title. Wow great journalism ethics you have there...
Controversial slants are not allowed at Steem. Don't try to be yourself, because you won't be able to match up with like-minded communities on Steem. Either you follow the groupthink or leave.
