RE: 👉Can Steem ecosystem be a true democratic system?❤️👉

in #steem6 years ago

You described the ideal of democracy, which is far away from the democracy we keep finding ourselves in - out in the world and here on Steemit.

People may revolt against the bought off politicians and lobbyists but it doesn't change a thing - the thing we call democracy is a romantic concept - what we actually keep getting is democracy. Precisely because so many keep legitimizing it regardless of all the countless broken promises and actualities against the romantic ideal. And we wonder why nothing changes - because we won't...

This place is no different.

Really looking forward to the solution side of things, you nailed Steemit's problems in this article, and we just need to find better ways of organizing that adhere not to the cruel factuality of the democratic system we find ourselves in but to the ideal it once aimed for.

Thank you @paradigmprospect for this much needed comment. Everything you wrote here is true. We need to change so that the society may change because society is nothing but a conglomeration of us. We are the building block of every society, including this one. As you can see I received a large number of upvote from bots, not from humans. I saw first comment of any human on my post which you made. So, the main problem which is a matter of concern is that this platform is being dominated by bots, instead of humans. Most of the trending posts are results of vote buying from bots. A single man is capable of siphoning 2% of the entire reward pool.
This platform is plagued by myriad problems which need to be addressed asap. I thing it is not impossible to resolve those problems but an initiative have to be taken first. Let us hope for the best.
