Actually I think 'each to their own' is exactly the attitude we need to be getting rid of. One of the main reasons I'm interested in Steem is that it is a system of collective governance without violence. But with the wider distribution of power, we have to hold each other accountable. In a representative democracy we expect high accountability from the small number of people with a lot of power. Why wouldn't we expect the same accountability from power held by many? It is the only solution to the tragedy of the commons.

unfortunately the platform its self allows for 'each for your own' and too many with a lot of power take advantage of this.
We can not expect accountability unless there are standard setters. Greed has overcome many of the standard setters that I cant wait for the wider distribution of power and I am ready to set standards.
Obviously I want to make money, lets not pretend. Steemit offers this to me as equally as it offers it to everyone else. However how I chose to make my money on Steemit is a way that differs from many others....it might be a slower way and some might call me a nob, but as long as it feels right for me, then it works.
We can set our own standards. We don't need to look to someone else to set a standard for what's right, what's expected. As the stake (power) gets more distributed we will have to do this regardless.
