RE: Stop complaining about Steemit
Speaking as a newcomer, I'm surprised how only your comment and one or two others take a critical thinking approach to this post. Good on you!
I hope this platform isn't full of people trying to ingratiate themselves in order to get points, that would get pretty boring and dysfunctional.
oh but it just needs a small percentage doing that and it will bring the site down!
I will be addressing the issue in part 2 of this set of blogs!

That's definetely a problem here. There is almost no critical thinking here because most people are biased and afraid that if they say something wrong they will get flagged or downvoted by someone with alot of SP.
But you can easily weed out the fake positivism from people if you stick here long enough.
This is why any form of down-voting destroys free expression and the fluid discourse that allows for true evolution. It's even worse on Steemit because the weight of votes varies -whales vs. minnows- and there is money at stake, and we all know that for all intents and purposes money is 90%~ of everything in this world. I have decided just to speak my mind. I'm not here for the money. Still, it would be good if down-voting disappeared because at best it leads to the tyranny of the majority... and yes it tends towards blind positivism and extensive self-censorship. Not healthy for a public forum.
