And I think that in this scenario I would be downvoted too because I don't write Chinese, so we could all be -11 outcasts here, still sharing thoughts, posts and comments.
Like the island of misfit toys.
Sure, I agree, but wouldn't it be a little tedious to click "reveal" on every single post and comment?
Here's another scenario for you to consider.
Imagine steem was banned from all crypto exchanges and the value went to essentially zero. What percentage of the (@freedom) whales would stick around? How many witnesses would do their duties for free?
Imagine if yo.utube stopped all revenue sharing. Do you think people would jump-ship?
You get used to things. Like living in a cage. Eating bad food and eventually calling it good. Tedious things too. If your mind is set to continue and support the people you've chosen to read, you click.
I am really bad at thinking what other people would do because I find myself asking frequently what the hell were those people thinking who did what they did. So usually I don't guess, I just watch people do this and that and then again this, and eat imaginary popcorn while watching.
Almost impossible scenarios but I'll give you my boring answers. My answer is 1%. And 1% also to the second question. Not that interesting. But what would be interesting is that all of that would not happen in one night. So what would happen before your worst case scenario was about to come true? Who would step up? What would those people do or invent to save Steem?
And my boring answer to the third question: some would, but not all. But again what is more interesting is what has to happen for the tube to do that. And where would those people who would leave, go?

Oh shoot! I though there needs to be a ! before the pop... (and so on).
