"Why even bother living when there are thieves and rapists running wild in every city and major town?"
Or you could just try to improve the community and take measures like the ones themarkymark and therealwolf are taking by fighting abusers. I also help a little by reporting abusers to Steemcleaners, although my vote is worth like 0.01 and I have no other way to influence.
Steem is the dream I didn't know I had. I wouldn't let it die just because a few bandits lurk in some dusty corners.
I know you mean well but that quote is brutal. I do not think all bad will ever go away. I was emphasizing that this happens more often than people realize. Especially the large whales that are raking in thousands of steems a day. I tip off my hat to you for calling out the bandits. I for one hope there are more good than bad so that steemit can thrive. Most of my crypto is in steem, so I am a believer good will prevail. I am hoping one day that I have enough steem to actually do something about these like themarkymark. Thanks.
Oh, to be young (on Steemit) again. Flush with hope.
