RE: The Dollar Vigilante EXPOSED - God's Gonna Cut You Down
I noticed your mention of me so I just dropped in to say thanks for the kind words. I've been making a conscious effort to vote up as many deserving newcomers as possible lately, even though I know it dilutes my voting power, because I know how encouraging it is to be recognized early on. I'm not alone in this effort either. I've been networking with a lot of other movers and shakers around here and they're doing the same. Did you see the $26k make-up tutorial from like a month ago? Nothing like that lately. The trending page looks much tamer now, by comparison. Still not quite right, of course, but definitely a step or two in the right direction.
Hey man, I didn't mentioned you in vain, I've been up voting you since I signed up here and I actually remember commenting that you got so many upvotes but not so many views in your videos. I was always a "view". You are one of the good guys in my book, I've only named a few but I know there's a lot more. But if scum like this make 15k that's all the proof I need to know you are still outnumbered. Still many people thinks it's well deserved and prefer to keep quiet. In my opinion that's not the way to grow.
Thanks, moonjelly. I've just had to make peace with the fact that the good people are the slim minority and probably always will be. Starting a new website won't change that. :/
I don't know if a new site is needed. I have many doubts about this one already. This whole thing turned into a political debate basically. One side supports that whales should have all the power to decide what's good and what's not, wherever that's good or bad content doesn't matter. As I mentioned in this post, that's not a true reflection of the community, it's just the reflection of people with more wealth, that's it.
And I don't agree with that at all but it seems a very popular idea with "free market" supporters. I'm from South America and I've seen the consequences of these systems firsthand that's why I'm on the other side of the spectrum.
What's worst, I don't consider myself a leftist, communist or whatever other tag this guy threw at me in his posts. I've seen that other side too sadly.
I didn
t mentioned???... what sort of English is that, dude? I guess a person under pressure, that feelunder pressure`. Not to worry, moonjelly... there is another way, dude!?!I would like to add my comment for you as well . Hope ok to put my link
It's easier than to write again :
I make sure I always surround myself with good, down to earth, fun, real people, who always keep me grounded.
I can't get along with narcissists, men who think they are better than others. Bright red colour enters my brain and boils up when I meet " Show-Off's ". I had to learn how to calm down and shut up, knowing it is not my duty to confront them. Let them find out alone where life will take them with a repulsive attitude.

That's an awesome post and I agree with everything you wrote. However social media is controversial by default. If you put money in the mix, well you have a molotov bomb right there and it becomes a social war. Like many of us said in previous posts, I think true, open and honest discussion is healthy. I don't like people saying "don't post that", "stop complaining", "you are just envious of his success".
Things get solved with criticism and hot debates too, not everything is perfect and certainly not this system, at least not yet and perhaps it'll never be, but I have faith it can improve if some changes are made.
Will I improve Steemit it making posts only about how great it is and how you can become a Steemillionaire in 10 steps? Certainly not.
