RE: Are Flags really Censorship? - Continuing the discussion at hand
I see, the confusion lies in the semantics... So in a sense, we agree a lot more than I suspected.
Now, here is an important piece of the puzzle, something we as stake holders (you included) have to be cognitively consistent.
If we understand that a big hurdle is the skewed distribution of SP, the fact that a small number of accounts hold the majority of the steem power. Then, why are more people not powering up? Why is someone with 500 Steem power among the 1% of the platform.
Check out that number... 500 Steem Power and you are part of the 1%
Extrapolate that into a meat world situation.
500 Steem Power and you are a Kardashian (i'm being ridiculous intentionally).
How hard is it to power up 500 Steem Power? Specially for Western Societies...
For current users:
We only have 50k active users on STEEM right now with a lot of them ( it seems) from 3rd world countries who are more than content making 1-2 $ a day on this platform. That has a momentum of it's own but that is certainly not the investor class.
For future: ( mostly my speculation)
As we get more content creators on-board ( OC types and Youtube celebs) they bring their audience with them and they stand to gain a lot of STEEM and rival the stakes of 1st gen STEEM investors. That gives me hope that SP will be more distributed in coming few years.
Our home grown Steemit stars mostly (not all) tend to be Investor class , which leads to not original content ( or original but creepy..whose name shall not be mentioned) in the trending section.
Also wait for the instagram T&A ( tits and ass) show , certain kind of influencers who don't mind obliging the request of fans...they are gonna be BIGGGG
lol
