RE: It's Community Building. NOT Community Raping
I know the type you speak about. In my country we have them as NGOs, civil service organisations and the likes. They are loud with their disclaimers and fantastic projections then they are gifted by politicians and suddenly they are quiet.
I know them too as inspirational and self-help gurus who will charge you to set you free from poverty.
I know them as market leaders, youth leaders, community development association presidents, who are willing to sell their community for money.
I love it that the Steemit community is free and open. Knowledge is available all over the place for free. No one has the monopoly to control people's lives or wallets.
Lovely words @maverickfoo. Keep doing the good work
Hi @warpedpoetic, looks like they come in all sizes, colors and shapes!
I once complained to a business partner before, "How can these liars are still leeching money under the guise of doing good, but the cause they are supporting gets nothing? Why can they give to people to do good honest work, like us?"
My partner told me, "Well, because they are willing to do what you're not willing to."
Sad truth, but now with Steemit, I feel empowered. I don't need to bend on my principles, and still, it's a win-win-win for all.
