Steem used to be an uncensored, decentralized platform - until Justin Sun bought Steemit and used its stake to become a dictator, handpicking the witnesses, censoring posts and stealing balances. That's why I removed this post and started blogging on Hive. You can still read all my posts there.

If we really care about quality, we need a new class of witnesses.

Read this. You need it.

That's a good post, which I mostly agree with. I don't see why you need to be condescending.

My point here is that the idea from the Steem whitepaper that quality would arise from the right incentives without human oversight is a mirage.

Anyway, what Steem bloggers consider quality is irrelevant to what attracts or turns off readers. Both The Financial Times and 9GAG are successful because they deliver what their readers are interested in.
