Indeed, steem ecosystem has become a serious wild wild west. So many serious fucked up things happening. But think you @acidyo for still putting us back to light through this post and pointing us to the future outlook, advantages, opportunities and possibilities that dwell here.
As long as Steem has being sold on decentralized exchanges such as Bitshares and exchanges that only require an email to sign up and use like Binance it has allowed for a lot of dishonesty and shady businesses.
When I saw the above, I remember that after joining Steemit one of the few messages I used to carry to people in my steemit gospel was the fact that steemit is devoid of fraud, dishonesty and scam.
I didn't see the negative narratives, I never believed in them. But now, they hit me on the face like a hard reality.
