Yes, I am being unfair on @taskmaster4450 a bit on purpose because I know he can take it. =)

I'm not sure why anyone would think Steemit should be anything other than that.

Because of the Steem/money involved. If it was on their post rather than something else, they wouldn't mind as much.

I don't -have- to unfollow all of my friends to avoid clickbait and Outrage Industry trolling.

Very good point. d yes, these interfaces that empower speech in various ways are going to be important.

Anybody who's getting all butthurt because Steemit doesn't auto-censor things should just step up and become a censor themselves... doubt there's gonna much Steem in it for them.

Not much at all but they are welcome to do it. Trending is generally a good place to start but there are many corners of Steem no one looks.

People are so strange.

Makes us interesting, at least sometimes.
