For the sake of the great people that are here on steemit I hope things change. As far as Im concerned im done with it , there appears to be little that is decentralized here and I have clearly mentioned my reasons in my last two posts. I invested my coins here and have had to sell at a loss and will continue to do so over the coming weeks. Hopefully my leaving will create enough awareness that people will push for better solutions I am not the only user who has made this choice. I didnt join steemit out of greed I fell in love with the concept of a decentralized blockchain social media platform, sure my mental state is not what It should be right now but end of the day I dont like how the experiments are being run
The real greedy people are those manipulating us with terms like experiment...

How is the experiment greedy?
Would you like to see the same whales and users with whale trails on trending every day? While it decreases your own posting rewards?
You do know those 2 whales are not gaining any curation rewards just to balance the platform out a bit better and give newer users more weight behind their votes.
I don't blame you, @mallorcaman, there is so much disinformation being spread that finding out the truth can do nothing but disillusion us, especially when that truth is that we have been misled about our abilities to earn rewards.
The white paper calls rewards a Trojan to onboard folks with unrealistic expectations.
I recognize that stinc had to mislead us, at the very least misdirect us, or the platform would not have made it this far.
Now if we could get them to do things other than help the rich get richer perhaps normal folks could find a home here.
So, what other areas am I being misled on to take the platform further? @freebornangel
Well, if the rewards you get are good enough to keep your attention then the truth for you is what you got.
We can only speculate about the motivations of the crapitalusts that control what they called decentralized to misdirect us.
Perhaps they will sell out to google and then we can abandon the place on philosophical grounds.
In this Easter season, @freebornangel, as Pontius Pilate would say
"What is truth?"
When a person or group acting in concert begins to dominate an open network.
Trump : Twitter :: Chinese miners : bitcoin mining or,
School of whales : Steemit :: Trump : Twitter :: Chinese miners : bitcoin mining
At least Google had, at one time, promised to do no evil. Most likely, the sell-out will be to a Beltway based PLA Unit 61398 front company.
I absolutely agree with you on this, steemit is far from being a decentralized type of thing, the whales shouldn't get this much power at all, that makes them in charge, which shouldn't be done on a decentralized social network... The concept was amazing, but it's unfortunately not what the end product turned out to be. :-/
Steemit is based on the assumption that there will be self-sacrificing, self-deprecating, benevolent oligarchs, @abso
