RE: IS STEEMIT LIKE A COUNTRY BEING FLOODED WITH IMMIGRANTS?
If you think Muslims are backward, you should see some of the gypsies in Eastern Europe. That said, there are well educated and well raised people from both groups. And the same applies to Steemit.
There are immigrants in your country, because you have a better standard of living. I have, myself, considered coming to New Zealand. It's not difficult to understand why - although I have two BA degrees and an MBA, the average pay of 250 Euro per month, in my country, can hardly justify the time and money I've invested in my education. And most people here are very badly educated, which is a growing trend.
In the same sense, Steemit attracts people from poor countries from Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia. It's understandable. But now that money laundering from all the illegally obtained Bitcoins from WannaCrypt declines, so will the value of Steem. And if Steem is worth nothing, then everyone who has come here for a quick profit will go away.
So you can take this from the discussion - as long as Steem is worth nothing, there will be few, but dedicated people here. Although some of them would abandon Steemit as well, undoubtedly, seeking higher profits for their skills :)
Ironically, those few dedicated people are making all the money on Steemit, while all the people who just came here for the money are unlikely to make any whatever the price of Steem is. So I think it will all work out fine!
250 Euro a month would suck, now I've just had a quick look online- I didn't realise there were so many poor people in Europe... Although some people claim to be poor in NZ, all they have to do go to income support and they will get more than that in government hand outs.
High government social welfare is what drove many gypsies and poorly educated East Europeans to Western countries. Of course, there are those who went there to work and live like "normal" people, and their education and professional experience profit the economies of said Western countries.
However, not many people live in the conditions in the photo you linked. I'd say this is typical for poor gypsy ghettos.
