Dear @julianhorack
I'm really glad that you didn't mind that I shared your work with that large group of people. I seriously found this topic very interesting and indeed people seem to be split with their opinions.
Love the fact that you decided to read all comments. I've schedulled doing it upcoming wed :) There is just to much to read hahaha :)
Again thanks for sharing your very valuable toughts. Appreciate your time, effort and friendship.
inherently I would like to believe that once an article is posted to the blockchain, it becomes like a transaction in a long link of chains, as one comment said, that can't be removed
Of course you're right. But we're living in society that is becoming "stuipider" (does this world even exist?) year by year. If front ends are being controled, then how many people will be able to "read" informations stored on blockchain ? Only very experienced tech guys would. That's my point.
Reputation and profit may motivate some but if one is an activist who is fighting for the cuase of freeing humanity, like Martin Luther King Jr or Gandhi or Mandela, money is not your motive
It's not so much about money. To build follower base you need tons of work. And if you will be downvoted into oblivion then what is the chance that you will start all over again?
It is a technological question as to whether blockchain and particularly Steem platform is uncensorable.
Ok, lets put it this way: database cannot be censored. But what is going to be shown to you will. That's sad reality.
Yours

Very well said Piotr the front ends can be controlled. I was possibly being more abstract and technical in saying your words can't be censored, say if someone looked for them. Reach or reputation is of course very valid. If people don't have access to your information it may be lost in translation or on the blockchain, waiting for some digital archaeologist to come along one day and unearth (haha) your document.
And I felt it my duty to read all the posts on my post, and answer as many as I can.
Thank you again I'm so glad we could spark some debate and engagement.
Best wishes
Julian
