Excellent post @kyriacos! I could not agree more - it is a parallel, so it seems, along with politics, finance, social reform, education, etc, the information is shrouded by disinformation and the debate is lost in the rights and wrongs of interest groups - 'stakeholders' as they are appropriately named because it comes down to whose stake holds the biggest wallet to ensure short-term gain.
Steemit suffers from the same malfeasance!
