RE: What is the true nature of Steemit, as a venue? Steemit Community Roundtable
@afrog, thank you for your thoughtful comment. I'm just going by the old wisdom the we can help by speaking our truth, but not to become attached to that truth being THE truth!
I did not mean to offend, with respect to any particular groups. People everywhere have something worthwhile to contribute-- in fact, I find the global nature of information very interesting. That's not the issue, nor in question. The problem is people's behavior, EVERYwhere. And the fact that people will behave differently for a reward that means "I eat for a month" than for a reward that means "I eat one nice dinner." Interestingly enough, on a couple of now defunct sites, the LOUDEST protestors against cheating were the high quality contributors from places with a high concentration of cheaters.
