At the very least, to remain visible, if your here for laying down your own message, or your here to sell your product, I would set my posts and comments to null and opt out of the rewards pool. This will ensure to an extent your visibility on the platform and prevent them from shadow banning you.
On peakd you can set beneficiary on your comments. I set mine to null because themarkymark, and his gang are starting to DV me.
Since I first joined steemit a year after it's release, this has been going on and it is still happening daily.
This doesn't mean you can't earn. There is second layer tokens that pay you in hive. For example, PIMP, COM both pay you in liquid for having stake. It's passive income but requires investment, it requires sufficient stake.
I'm already on blurt, you know me under a different username ;)
I'm not giving up on hive, because I want to spread my message and connect with other people. I'm Looking for recruits for a cause that we can agree on.
I want to say much more. But I'm out of time for now.
See you on the other side.
hmm you may be right here, although every downvoted post by them only shows that what I say is true ;)
