The only person that made Steem Suck was Justin Sun and Ned. So stating that the "same people that made steem suck are in charge here" is not quite accurate in my opinion.
I think that should be dpoll question? Most of the people that bullied people into silence or they ran them off the platform are still here and are witnesses.They still do it today and they never stopped their obnoxious behavior unbecoming to a civilized society. Mobs of them.
I respectfully disagree with your hypothesis. I wish I could agree with you, I was a little deeper in the swamp here.
