I suppose the truth hurts and what @snowflake raised his post are problematic facts.
What I am finding difficult with all of this is how the steemit blockchain community can come to a conscious on how people should 'behave' on steemit.
Remember, Steemit is still new. its still in beta. We are still early adapters, and I believe we can still help shape the future of Steemit.
Each and everyone of us have our own stories, are own reasons for doing things, our own motives. but when it comes to money, many of us are the same. If there is a way to make more, they will take the opportunity.
The problem is, on steemit, we are mixing people with money, that in its self will always attract opportunists.
The solution, well I don't have one but we need to start with communication, with openness and with transparency And well I think @snowfalke made a good start there.
One thing I have said before is that the people that are highly invested need to start thinking long term and not short term financial gain. This mindset will sink steemit before it can even take off
