The Steemit Revolution And The Collapse Of Corporate Social Media
Many illusions have been shattered over the last few years. And as that is absolutely a good thing, it has caused the ruling powers to begin taking steps more blatantly than ever before. We have seen mainstream media completely forego even pretending to be impartial or non-partisan — which was not too shocking a step as they did not do that good of a job to begin with — we have seen overt censorship all across the board in regard to any voice going against the government narrative, and we have seen the veil forced back that once covered the aggressively invasive and imperialistic military intentions of the current establishment. Many of us have been calling attention to all of this and more for a very long time, yet today, many average Americans are now beginning to, at the very least, question what was once a forgone conclusion, and this has kicked the agenda into high gear. It is not hard to see the diminishing world power of the US, and they certainly see the writing on the wall. Even powerful governments to some degree needs the consent of the governed, so if the US were to lose the backing of even the false majority, that would be a complete loss of control, and as the cornered animal they currently are, they are beginning to lash out in the most dangerous of ways, from a place of outright self-preservation. Which is why their efforts to control the narrative are more invasive than ever before, and here to discuss this spike in censorship and social media purge, as well as the Steemit revolution, is Frank Bacon, Titus Frost and Nathan from Lift the Veil.

I've actually watched this roundtable discussion a couple times now, just to better grasp your individual perceptions of Steemit, as they are different than mine. I didn't come here to generate views, or monetize content, but to 'vote with my feet' against censorship and propaganda that I saw perfusing other platforms, like Fakebook, Twatter, and Youtool.
Gaining your perspectives enlightened me a great deal, as new perspectives are wont to do.
Thanks very much for this very informative and constructive post!
Edit: I wanted to mention that I've never sought monetization, and have actively kicked sand in the face of bullies (flaggots) hereabouts, as part of my rousing of rabble against censorship. After less than a year here, and with crypto currencies having plunged about 75% since December, I still have thousands of dollars in fungible cash earned on Steemit while generally doing everything I can to avoid earnings.
It's pretty amazing, really, and though I have never intended to spend any of my Steem, I've probably got better prospects of having some kind of retirement someday from Steemit than I ever will from Social Security.
It really flabbers my gast, TBQH.
