I wonder if something can be done about this. I saw a post yesterday about a potential new platform from someone who's got similar concerns about the platform. Today I saw a post that the user's been shutdown. To be honest I am one of those who started resorting to buying votes.
I feel a lot more people share this sentiments, but chooses not to speak up. You are out voice. Thank you.
We could start flagging people who are using them until people are afraid to use them anymore. But I really do not like this approach, because I know that a lot of people are using them out of necessity, and many of the posts they are used on should be getting rewarded. They are not the problem. The Steemit team are, because their silence is the same as consent at this point. And that is why the community continue to use them.
I appreciate the closing sentence. I can feel at times as though I'm just wasting my time, but comments such as this help me to remember why I'm doing this in the first place.
Someone posted on here about this? Who was it? Do you remember? Wasn't aware accounts could be shut down.
it's not so much that they can be shut down exactly, they just can be invisibled completely so people don't see them anymore.
All my poems have been about this thing, I am seeing, as it's a huge problem, that I myself have been slow to acknowledge in my own head, but it's been coming out in my poetry anyway, without trying for it.
