I went to a boys only Catholic high school, so I've never been a male sympathizer, haha.
It's a shame... and I totally agree... the basic biological differences between men and women make it unlikely that the vast majority of men will treat women like equals. Competitiveness and aggressiveness is definitely part of the male DNA, and so, where do we go from here? Send all dudes to Tasmania until they learn to behave? Elon literally chucks 'em on Mars.
Ah... so I guess I haven't been paying attention, but what do you mean that the living you were making from Steem was pulled out from under you? Did I miss something? I thought you were smashing it with songs and Buzzsteems!
I was until about a week ago, where I opened my big fat mouth. There are a few people who pull the strings with Dtube upvotes, and I stopped kissing the ring of said person, because I think he is scamming the system, and my upvotes stopped nearly overnight.
No way that was a coincidence, even with their new upvoting policy. Everyone else who is still in that circle is still getting upvoted.
I was considering doing an expose on the whole thing, as I think there is some DMania level chicanery going on, and Ned pulled the plug once enough people came forward with what is going on, but that will be a huge blow to Steem if we lose our one major video site, other than DLive. Though DLive was originally supposed to be for streaming, not just hosting vids.
It's kind of a mess, and I am deeply depressed about it, because I have done a lot for that platform....but I digress.
Oh man, really? Well, that's highly upsetting. Can't we have just one platform that corrupt? I'm literally learning coding and programming right now so I can start to smash in some Utopian projects.... hopefully they're not too dmania-y.... but I guess we'll see.
Your dtube drama is crazy upsetting... but I guess I'm not super surprised. Arrrgh!
