You can flag what you want, it's everyone's free choice to flag. I'll never flag a post. People are entitled to their opinion and I'd rather know what everyone really thinks and be able to address it than have them hide their opinions out of fear. You can't change someone's mind if you don't know what they're thinking.
And I think an advertising ban is stupid, like you've said there's already plenty of self-selling and shilling on the platform, why not ban all of that. Oh, then there'd be no point for over half the large posters to use steemit, that's why.
Yeah but at the end of the day, a single whale, or a small group of whales, can essentially take down any new voice they don't like.
STEEM is inflationary too, which means it won't be much harder to get in the future as it will now, right? So OG's don't nessecarily have more power than, let's say if the russian government decides to fuck with what's posted on here.
I don't know, maybe I'm missing something. But this actually sounds more messed up than having a single company in decide what is and isn't posted...
Inflation is actually going down by half a percent every year until it reaches half a percent a year. Basically everyone had gobs of steem from the shadowmining and a period of high inflation for a while there then if you got in late... too bad.
