Good post! However I see a form of censorship on even Steemit -- namely, the posts that everyone sees are the ones upvoted by robots. It's possible for powerful accounts to flag a post and have its rewards automatically cut, too.

good point 👍
Exactly this. New user, as of 30 minutes ago. Already followed by a number of robots who promise to upvote my posts for a fee.
Granted, it’s not the platform itself that is promoting/censoring, but the robotic “services” who boost things based on who pays, rather than merit.
