Done with Steemit...
Goodbye Steemit!
I am done here.
After finding out, through a series of posts, etc., what this site is all about and where it is headed, I had resolved to take a much-needed break from actively posting on the platform.
I've interacted with some truly incredible people here.
A short list brings up scientists, writers, artists, etc.
Awesome individuals. :)
However, the seedy underbelly of this operation is simply too distracting to ignore.
Upon logging in today, what do I find but multiple posts from people whose content I respect and whose words I admire have been flagged into the dirt by empty accounts with huge amounts of Steem.
The uber-censorship and faux-decentralization of this place has, at long last managed to disgust me.
I'll turn my attention elsewhere from now on.
If my hard-earned steem power makes it through the power-down period, I'll gladly chuck it in a trading account and call it a day.
Too bad this platform isn't all it is cracked up to be - just another plutocratic cesspool to step over in search of greener pastures.
I know, I know... I could stay and work harder at it, or as surfyogi mentioned "invest more" (lol, very accurate choice of words there guy), but why do that when investing more into my own businesses, etc. doesn't involve brown-nosing to a bunch of hypocrites AND gets me closer to my goals much faster?
In summation, this site is a gilded turd and I've no reason to put up with it. I hope all the awesome people here find happiness and success while all the hypocrites choke on their lies. :P
Dude! What happened?
Hi Edu!
Yeah, I'm done here :(. Bit of a disappointing turn of events overall, I know.
I'll keep posting scenes of that short story on my site though :) and possibly on Medium or something (not quite sure yet).
I'm setting up to reward other contributors on my site with a Waves-based token I made up. It should be fun and you're always welcome of course.
I might log in for a while just to upvote your stuff.

so sad, feelsbad no sarcasm
I remember your article that raised serious concerns about the crypto movement was really good and thought provoking. All this sunshine and rainbow talk will lead us on the same road that states do.
How about some name dropping if you are resigning anyways? :3
I know exactly what you mean about senseless downvoting. It's a real shame. It makes sense for spam an plagiarizing but i'm seeing more and more quality content providers that really work hard here fall victim to it because of spite and jealously. It's sickening at best.
Good luck in your new adventures :)
Good day STEEMIAN!
This is all free and opensource information; all you need to do is upvote all posts of @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer and receive the sharing of the 33 percent of all SBD author rewards on a daily basis, no questions asked.
The @minnowminer program aims to help in the awareness program of the versatile JOULESTEEM circuit, a non-solar non-wind approach to low-power offgrid energy generation by re-distributing and sharing the daily SBD gains of all posts made by @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer.
The JOULESTEEM circuit is reaching a very encouraging milestone (@lightingmacsteem post #51) that enables it to harness non-conventional offgrid power sources (air and ground as a huge capacitor) which is in turn made to charge big capacity batteries. This makes it very much ideal for low-power energy generation no matter the location, no matter the weather, no matter what time of the day.
To be able to fast-track its adoption worldwide and to where it may be needed most, the @minnowminer program is introduced to encourage all STEEMIANS to help and be part of the quick transformation of the JOULESTEEM circuit.
This is maybe the only straight-to-the-point no-questions-asked sharing scheme that will enable each one to earn and learn as a STEEMIAN.
Keep on STEEMING guys!!!
