RE: Steemit Is Ruled By A Communist Party - Flags Wars Look Worse To Investors Than The Rampant Abuse They Claim To "Fight"
Excellent commentary. I wrote yesterday a similar comment with respect to why down flagging is even necessary. It seems like a lethal weapon in the hands of those whose DNA was build to control other people while at the same time making it a cover while they get some kind of advantage. This is really not so different than the kind of people who are drawn to the power of the government and in being an elected official.
If we can't use something like steemit and all of its potential for good to create something of value without all of this down flagging crap, then there is no hope for this platform.
"It seems like a lethal weapon in the hands of those whose DNA was build to control other people"
Such as certain socialist politicians that may or may not have been screwed out of a recent political nomination...

Thanks!
I am not sure if Steem always had flagging, or if this feature was introduced later to combat abuse. However I've always felt that it contradicts the whole 'We're leaving Youtube because of censorship' argument that's going around here. There's arguably more censorship and demonetization on Steemit than on Youtube.
"There's arguably more censorship and demonetization on Steemit than on Youtube."
Funny how around here demonetization and hiding your content aren't considered "censorship" by a large portion of the "in-crowd".
Thanks for always being one of the best commenters.
As a novice author, I'm sad to hear that the idea of decentralization does not work in STEEMIT (
p.s. I noticed that you have not written in your blog for a long time.
Yeah, it's really funny how that works! But not much to do about it.. half-truths and public opinion is more important than real truths, on Steemit :)
Thanks for your compliment on my comments, I really appreciate it! It's good to know that I stand out a little bit from the other posters out there :)
P.S. check out my profile! I know you've been away, or not as active on here lately and you may have missed it but I vastly improved my blog with branding, layout, etc.! Kind of proud of my blog at the moment! It's gaining some traction finally! :)
