It is of no surprise to me that the price is falling.
I along with many other people have joined rival sites, and I look forward to them being more honest than here, why? because early adopters here made this place fake, I have had people on here, with high reps, make a comment, then come back the next day to edit them, tone them down, make excuses about it was the beer, and not wanting people to read that, it is disingenuous, and that is the problem here, people tip toeing around not wanting to lose upvotes.
If you have something real to say, it should be said, it matters not if you are right or wrong, if you are wrong at least someone can come along and try to convince you otherwise, if you never say it they can not. Society itself is getting to the point where people self police, you early adopters made this in the same image, and it is not good!
With regards to timing, it is already 10 past midnight on here and too late to fix, why you allowed it to get this far is beyond me, freedom of speech is allowed, and on here it should have been also.
Like I have said before, some of my best friends in life, I can sit with for hours, talk to and not agree about one single thing, does that mean I should ignore their point of view and miss out on a good night out, with lots of banter? NO, and that is why you early adopters should have encouraged more varied opinion, than just boring Nigel's banging on about a cooking recipe or some fake chick on her constant holidays at your expense.
Say what you want about me, I care not, I know I am real, and I stand by every word I write, you meet me in real life, and I am what it says on the label, a caring father, motorbike restorer that tries his hand at anything in life, from art to woodwork and everything in between.
I see through the veil of lies that is government, and you might call me "tinfoil hat wearing" and that I will take with pride. If you want to be a new whale, if you feel you have the credentials to be morally better than just silencing dissenting voices, jump on over to trybe.one now, where you earn tokens to become that whale.
Make it better captains.
If anything can be taken from this site, you already know what it is, if you have been forced to be unreal on here, like many have, then set yourself free somewhere else, though take with you the lessons learnt from here, keep them filed under "what not to do" and keep it real!
You know that most of Steemit was pretty genuine for the first few months - those chicks on holiday that we can't name came later.
And the new sites are just copying Steemit - for all it's faults this is the originator, and I'm checking out the new sites but seeing no advantages to them...
Trybe.one do not allow votes on the same people for 3 days, so there is no circle jerking for a start, and if you only keep rating your friends, you all get booted, without a trial, Dan the man knows what went wrong here, and I have mucho respect for him, unlike ned that is like a stuck record banging on about SMT's to keep you all interested.
You could at least get the correct bike pic. :p
Take care with Dan he is not always what he appears to be! (hint - check his family background)
And many people on Steemit are not exactly what they appear to be!
A few Q's for you - https://steemit.com/steem/@steemir/is-steemit-a-scam
I know his background, all the same I feel in need of a fresh challenge, one that is not strangling opinion, even the devs here downvote people like tremendouspercy for writing that climate change is a scam, and that is simply not cutting it.
I've called out "climate change" as utter bullshit all over Steemit for over two years and never been flagged - starting here: https://steemit.com/anarchy/@sift666/global-warming-the-new-apocalypse - that post earned $76.89 with no bots.
I've also called out vaccinations, zionism, bitcoin, qanon, chump, wikileaks, and so many other things I don't know where to start - what I avoid is pissing off whales - yes some whales are scamming the living fuck out of Steemit and if I name them I'm all over, so I don't...
One of the most powerful whales on Steemit is pro-vax, but Canadian Coconut has done fine. I mostly get flagged by offended libtards with barely any money so I tell them where to go and just unflag. Once you have over about 10 000 SP to back yourself up with, flagging isn't too common a problem - for example any anti-vax post is going to be backed up with some serious fire power so even whales usually leave that subject alone.
Actually I just went to find that post by Trenenouspercy but his timeline was all resteems - mainly Corbett Report who is my favourite Steemian - but that is why I follow Corbett Report and not Trenenouspercy - chronic resteeming is just a complete pain in the arse.
He also resteems sgt report who is another pro chump pro qanon zionist propaganda site for fucks sake... SGT report is one of the biggest bullshit artists on Steemit and anyone who resteems that crap is in my bad books!
Just look at this shit - https://steemit.com/@sgtreport
And like alex the shill jones, sgt report is "being censored" - more like being promoted from one end of the internet to the other while playing the "youtube censored me" line for all it's worth - can you tell I really dislike that prick?
"President Donald Trump has been the target of a dastardly deep state plan to topple him" - OH MY FUCKING GOD...
PS
Are you on Trybe? - I just set up an account to have a look but I think it looks like another G+ vs fakebook - and I pick it to be the loser.
PS - now I've tried out and joined trype - my verdict at this point - geek central, hard to use, runs like a pig, bored my pants off, heaps of stuff needs changing...
i know it's new but steemit was never that slow
and rules on what subjects you can post about, what images you can use, and who you can vote for - or get banned - my immediate reaction is fuck that...
will i use it? - very unlikely
It is not even in beta lol, give it time broskie give it time, I have 2 articles on the feature page already. :p
Because you and two other people that i follow have been talking about "the competition" - trype, weka, i went and had a look - magnets for boring geeks to post boring shit!
Punters with Aspergers really can't write! You might be the only person on there who can!
I might do a post about all this and I may be a tad scathing
Thanks for the tip. I've just registered with Trybe under the same username (jimbobbill). What is yours?
I agree with you, self censorship has become a big problem and even I think twice about writing about some topics (I'm sure you can imagine what they might be). It's a shame what has happened to Steemit because it had so much potential. I'm not sure if the decisions that have led where we are today from Ned and Stinc were designed to lead us where we are or whether it was a mistake but when I read some people's view on the upcoming hard fork that doesn't fix some of the big problems, they don't make me feel much better. I've been on here now for over two years and although I don't put a huge amount of stuff out I have still invested a lot of time and currently my 1081 SP isn't worth that much and I wonder about the future. You might have made a good move selling your main account.
Anyway, I'm going to check out Trybe.
Stay safe my man
Yes bro I sold it at the right time, I could see the writing on the wall here as people get silenced, and the easily offended have taken full control of the narrative, I shall look you up on the site, I do not want to say my new user name on here, I would prefer to keep the two sites at a distance, you will know it is me when you write any article, I shall make sure to say hello! :-)
Ok cool. I'm waiting for my first blog post to be approved.
We are going to be whales bro whales, though truther whales at that. :-)
If free speech isnt allowed here we wont go far, worrying about if my post gets vote down by insecure little people who buy steem and act like a boss doesnt make it worth and if they continue acting stupid they will hurt themselves eventually because no one will want to join and the platform will go down. Flagging isnt about disapproving but for spamming, so i can say screw you nigga and dont get downvote because this isnt plagiarism or spamming. As for the big whales who ruin the place
LOL well spoken my man.
If there realy are people, who edit their comments, so they are like Mr. "Not-Sure" from the Idiocracy movie.

P. S. Are you talking about some kind of censorship here in #Steemit? If that's the case, it is too bad.
Yes there is plenty of it going on here, in time you will find out.
