I appreciate this post. I understand and believe you when you say you won't reply but I do think there is a good chance you'll read this.

I'm a newbie. I don't follow cryptocurrency. I am not the least bit interested in anarcho-anything. The blockchain meant nothing to me. But then I saw an article -- maybe your handiwork -- and was intrigued enough to join.

I'm still intrigued enough to be writing this now. However, I am not as intrigued as I was a month ago and, just as much as you played a part in my early interest you also played a part in my waning interest. That is not a complaint or condemnation, just a statement of my fact.

Every action you took may have been backed by the best of intentions -- at this point the only thing clear to me is that nothing is clear to me. That's on me. But it is also on you, and the people (accounts) with you, and on the people (accounts) against you. And on the platform itself.

This is not social media. Social media is driven socially. By people. You point out very clearly that you believe this platform and the people on it should have no issue with people having multiple accounts and using them as they see fit. The code allows. So, the code condones.

That may be great overall but it's not great for me. I was excited by 'anonymous openness' but I am turned off by 'condoned obfuscation'. Again not a judgement but a clarification of my own position.

I began here with the idea that good curation would be rewarded -- that was then shot down by a post by Dan that clarified that curation was a game for the rich. I continued with the idea that good commenting could be rewarded -- that was then shot down, in no small part by you, by purposely or not funneling daily rewards to chosen people(accounts). I remained interested because I could interact with people who were not my "friends". Even anarchists! But then people became 'maybe people'.

What's left -- why would a non-blogger non-anarchist non-sp-holder continue to visit steemit? After all, I think that describes not just me, but also just about everyone else in the world?

I am still here. Just running out of reasons why. Help me identify the next reason to stay.
