In my opinion, I have failed the platform as I have been unable to have any significant effects on these kinds of things, not enough power to act strongly and not enough influence to convince enough or the right people to act to stop it.
For the first time, i stand to disagree with you on this one. I dont think you've failed, except you think steemit has failed too. And i say this because in your own capacity, you have created an avenue for your followers to engage in meaningful intelligent conversations and contribution. You have used your skills and thoughts to bring people to reason together, to communicate. When you pour out your thoughts undiluted, you pave way for your followers to do the same.
But, it has been rewarding to write and it has offered me a chance to earn while I learn
You have helped me learn and earn from your posts, this is steemit in you. Im sure others can say this too, and there is still so much more
Is it going to once again be a situation where the good guys finish last?
I guess as long as they finish well, as far as this race is concerned
The pictures are a blast as always
