I feel weird about the entire vote buying thing. I’d rather be in this in a rather pure form - just putting content out there.

Essentially, what has been crafted is your standard social media advertising layer and I feel that is the one thing Steemit was purporting to offer an alternative to.

For better or worse, I’m going to carry on as I am. I’m time poor and having to get to embedded in an entire economics model to post is just a massive turn off. I’d feel like I was a chick in a nest “meep! meep! meep!” if I submitted to it.

As such, I’m avidly watching the manual curation crew. They’re doing the job of what you’d hope would become a front end native thing.
