RE: Steem Thoughts - Inequitable Value Between Users and Apps
Hi @crypto.piotr,
Thanks for the comment!
didnt you consider changing your thumbnails?
Didn't really consider that. Haha.. perhaps I should. Probably will try it on my next article. Usually I will just let the first image be my thumbnail.
This is one part that I'm very sceptical. I really do not understand why people keep thinking that it's censorship-resistant.
It is censorship resistant because it is much more difficult for a government to block access when there are full nodes running all over the globe. Imagine if I want to block Facebook, I simply block *.facebook.com. However, if I want to block Steem, I have to block Steemit.com, SteemPeak.com, Steeve.app, Busy.org and many others. Even if all interfaces are blocked, users can still technically browse content from the nodes directly via APIs. Hence, it is censorship resistant. Of course a very determined government can still censor it, therefore it is not censorship proof.
I would love to understand what those 3% are about.
Beneficiary rewards allow your authorship rewards to be shared with another account you like. In this case I am sharing 3% of my author rewards with @steeveapp. It is a way of appreciating what another account.
Dont you think that steem create some solid VALUE, but there is simply almost no demand for that value? It's like creating something amazing, but noone really wants it.
Agreed. I think there are many great inventions that didn't take off because of a lack of awareness. In many cases, it is also a lack of user friendliness.
We are in an age where there are so many new developments every day. Hence, it is difficult to draw users' attention if the application does not have a killer feature. Steem need that killer app to really gain mass adoption

I forgot to thank you for your comment @culgin
STEEM blockchain will naturally have all records. But all frontends like Steemit, busy.org, steempeak etc. will be able to "hide" unwanted content.
Imagine even right now, that some goverment body would create few accounts with large amount of steem. Even by downvoting they can push unwanted content into oblivion.
And what if they will contact Ned and will tell him, that Steem Inc. has responsibility to ensure that there is no "hate speach" on this platform? Surely all things will be in blockchain, but Steemit doesnt necessary will present all those datas.
Does it make sense?
Oh, you actually answered :) I think that with current society not being on all those major interfaces is like not existing at all. So censorship will be still very obvious for masses.
ps.
Also please allow me to invite you to visit my latest post (my last one in 2018). Together with few friends we decided to organize small charity event "Santa Venezuela" and hopefully we can count on your help. There are many ways of helping our venture :)
Have a great Xmas :)
