Are you enjoying all those rules on Steemit?

Well, our friend Fredrick Acosta seems to be unlike owner Justin Sun he's the one in charge. Rules can be good for the environment where many of us spend over 10 hours per day. We all agree we don't want Steemit to change into chaos, a messy place to be. Yes, it is hard to please all Steemians but Fredrick assured me: Everyone is welcome, this place is a democracy and your voice counts as much as mine.
This knowledge should be good enough to join. If you believe it hard enough it will become a reality.

As Fredrick (you can find him at the @freewritehouse) spoke to me I couldn't help wondering about the effect of his rules. They are set but who are those telling me, I wrote a shitty post? Are they great writers, readers, publishers, or artists, how many books, and stories do they read daily, are they teachers, play writers, photographers, people with passion, are they educated, how committed are they...
Acosta kept his mouth shut, nothing as annoying as a man who pretends he doesn't hear you. Since I know better I continued...
What about aversion to the written word, how about being open-minded? If own norms and values, education, or personal burden weighs too heavy on one's shoulder isn't the vision blurred? What about tunnel vision? Tunnel or blurred isn't objective. Should one with such vision label what is good and inappropriate or badly written?
Fredrick, how many out of 100 can put aside their feelings and read focussed longer than 5 minutes, can understand the meaning and see it from a different perspective?

Can you pay some attention, please, and stop with your food?
He looked up at me in surprise. It was clear he had something else on his mind but at least he didn't shut down and traveled to another dimension to save his arse. I studied him for a while. I don't pity him since his lifestyle was his choice. He likes to be at the center of attention but hides at the same time and never takes responsibility. His luck is he always finds idiots doing his job and taking the fall, of course against a payment since nothing is for free not even for Frederick who prefers to hide behind the screen.

If it's 1 out of 100 it's much, more likely it's not even 1 out of 5000 since we all are who we are products of our education and culture, the result of a broken soul always tiptoeing or trying to compensate for what we start to believe we are missing. Can you practice what you preach or will those you delegate your job to do so? I don't see it Acosta!

Fredrick misses a lot. Not for real but he believes he does because he lacks awareness and he isn't capable of seeing how lucky he is. So old Frederick waited for a chance to rule over a world others abandoned because its future didn't look good. As we all know, where is will is an opportunity (no, god has nothing to do with it) and Fredrick was the first to step in. Not by being active but by delegating and telling others what to do. It worked wonderwell and we all should be grateful for what he did. Indeed, all those rules weren't all his ideas a part he stole from @steembetterlife and smart Steemians who didn't care much about getting rich and famous. He had to since he never was the smartest kid of the year but he read and noted everything said and took the credit (nothing wrong with that, it's not plagiarism or stealing it's very common among businessmen like Bill Gates. He did the same, he stole other's ideas - google maps is a great example of that).

Now we know who The One in Charge is the question is: Who are you, Administrator, Curator, Moderator, Host of contests?

Do you Practise what you Preach? Are you original, creative, and not a copycat?

I see a lot of bad content and with bad I mean really bad. I understand you all have a life and you can be in a hurry, most likely always in a hurry but I do have questions Frederick can not answer. According to him, the job isn't easy, a monkey can do it and indeed there's help from AI, that same AI you are not allowed to use if it comes to text and some moderators or communities even fight the pictures. I wonder why.
The average epistle I see on this platform lacks creativity, repeats itself and there are even writers using the same sentences in nearly every post. You might not notice this but I do.

Questions

1. You are against AI but you use it yourself to figure out whatever you like to know. The fact you can be wrong doesn't count because
   A. You can't read or think by yourself
   B. You are not interested in the text/topic/to figure it out
   C. You haven't the slightest idea what is written
   D. You are not such a reader
   E. You don't like the author
   F. You get paid to leave your stamp behind
   G. Your goal is to be at the center of attention
   I. What you write will not be moderated/labeled as bad content
   H. AI is almighty and always right just like the internet.

2. Are you the right person to tell others they have to upvote if you don't do so yourself?
   A. Yes
   B. No
   C. there's not C since it's clear the answer is A

3. Are you the right person to tell others NOT to use AI even though you use it yourself?
   It is not unnoticed that there are Steemians at the top using AI to write and comment.
   A. Yes
   B. There's no B since it's already proved this is the case and interesting enough those admins/moderators and curators are like ex-smokers telling smokers how anti-social their behaviour is in a very aggressive way

4. Why are you against automatic upvotes? Delegating SP to Communities for an upvote is not different from Upex or other tricks communities use to give bigger upvotes to those who delegate, donate, invest or...
   A. I don't benefit from it
   B. I want to be the only one
   C. I can't stand copycats
   D. A, B + C

5. Do you Practise what you Preach?
   A. No
   B. Sometimes (depends on if it fits me)
   C._No way, the rules are only meant for the plebs (average Steemian), I am Mr. Perfect
   
   
   Frederique look I found the answers and I like to ask you Mr. Delegation what will you do if being tricked no longer works and the other part of the platform turns out to be the better half? Will you step in yourself? Will you make Steemit a great fun place to be so more people will like it (and not notice how much time they spend chatting instead on of other social media) or will you take the money and run since you are an investor now?
   Acosta, he's a kind guy, it's true he doesn't care much and it's also true doing the job alone is impossible, not if the goal is to create something better. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out well. More and more leave because there's hardly any fun no matter how hard some of us try to engage. Can it be we live in a time where no one is willing to invest in friendships because we are too spoiled with the luxury this technology age offers? What if the power is switched off and more and more Steemians will deal with blackouts? Will Steemit change in a platform for the rich only, those with good wifi, good devices, all the time in the world to write content long enough to be rewarded?
   Is content rewarded at all or do we only care about our friends, those who might benefit us, whose ideas can be used so we can stand in the spotlight and brag?

It's good to see how a bit of change arrived with the new curating teams, not much since the same is the same and rude remains rude but I noticed a change. A change is needed to keep the good, entertaining, creative writers on this platform without discriminating because we need them. I like to think I made a change since I see that what I did, suggested, and mentioned in my application is practiced by two curating Teams which both didn't mention what I liked to do. I am happy with it, Mr. Delegation, you did something good. A big change will not happen overnight but for surely have a positive effect. I hope that you, just like me agree that there are exceptions if it comes to certain rules but that those who tell others what to do have to show proof of their own perfectness. Right now this isn't what I see. So I like you to have a closer look at those you delegate your work to and ask yourself why they are appointed.
All the best to you Frederick, I keep my fingers crossed.
