RE: A look at transparency and hiding beneath the surface
Maybe the idea of such a platform is utopic, as soon as the people come in greed and easy money take over. Human nature is a bit weird.

Any change for the better is idealistic as given the information of the moment, it is what it is. Though, that shouldn't stop us from trying and enacting change. The introduction of 'easy money' is a personal hurdle that many can't surmount. The drive of the ego to have more than the next person is endless until one reflects on the process and the implications. Our society as a whole no longer encourages self-reflection though, despite all the Facebook and Instagram -esque quotes on sunset photos.
It's just sad that the majority seems to be not interested in self-reflection. Steemit has already a quite high percentage of users that tink for themselves. It is way worse on other big platforms. Not to mention cryptorelated telegram chats...Lambo! Moon! 😱
I agree we should try to get better, even if it's like good old Don Quichote fighting the windmills.
