My belief is that Steemit won't acknowledge the problem unless we make it problem.
In that sense, bernie and I are working together. I'm making it visible on a daily basis that there is an issue that needs to be addressed.
I'm going to go about doing what I do. Bernie can do what he does. Then we can see what effect that has on the platform.
When I write 'Welcome to Steemit' on a new post, and it gets flagged. People are going to wonder why. That is a question they should be asking, because there are issues they need to know about early before they invest too much time, effort and money.
