I can't understand all the stress. This is typical "Everything must be free attitude". In the meantime, it must have reached everybody: if you're not paying for a service, you're the product. How can you use a service for months or even years and assume that you don't have to pay for it? That doesn't make sense to me at all.
From this point of view, it is a very bad sign for this Steemit "community".
Those who don't read the ToS should turn off the laptop and keep their hands off the Internet. It's that simple.
I have never used this service, but I have listened to the debate. And there's only a shake of the head. But don't worry xeroc, there are also enough Steemians who can look at the whole thing in a differentiated way.
This is a very typical Shitstorm behavior, the majority of them just go blind on it without differentiating.
Some people should question themselves.
