I guess SteemIt wanted to prove your post true. I suspect that SteemIt's current desire is to drive off all of the pre-hardfork accounts and build a new client base.

I decided to participate in the Diary Game. SteemIt is only giving curation rewards to sycophants.

I think that having one's own web site on their personal server is the best path for people who value liberty.

I will probably be kicked off the platform because I believe that everyone should have a personal site and use the social media sites to drive traffic to the independent site.
