RE: STEEM: Do We Really Stand For Freedom Of Speech??? Advertising Ban or Censorship???

in #steem7 years ago

I feel there is a bit of confusion in the comments. Adding ads to this website (Steemit.com) is dumb and pointless and we can all agree on that, but I think companies posting content (like we do) that is or contains ads are a totally different story.

The first one is dumb as it is anywhere else because it is usually in no context to the rest of the content on the website and there is usually no reason to look at an ad. Additionally, you cannot interact with the ad at all. No commenting an no liking/disliking possible.

But if a company writes a Steemit post with ads in it, we as Steemit users can at least use our votes to punish unfitting ads and like or comment on ads that are interesting.
