To go total stellabelle on someone/something - to make tens of thousands of dollars on a platform [in big part due to developers voting you up], before declaring the platform is no good... no good because another platform that exist only on theory has solved problems that the money paying one has not.

ha ha! At least I can laugh about myself!
If you knew anything about me, you'd realize that I have SEVERE attention issues. 3 months is usually my limit as far as being involved with something. That's why I'm a writer....I can change topics all the time....
@james-show baby, I'm a starter, not a finisher. I'm not going anywhere soon. I quit my dayjob 3 months ago. Steemit is my job now. But maybe I will start a book, a big one...... I just happen to be a critic, which I am learning not many people are. Money comes and goes, but the truth presents its ugly head every second of every day. I'll never be anyone's shill. Getting in trouble is something I do quite well in any system. Steemit is a system, after all.
You are preaching to the choir. If you read my post/comments you will know that hardly a bigger critic exist around here... and I pretty good at laughing about myself as well.
To be clear, I never said it was "no good". I pointed out 2 problems that Steemit had that were going unresolved. As you can see, the power/money gap is still proving to be a conflict that is problematic. Rewards being zapped away by whales attempting to censor content that they don't like is continuing to be a problem. New users don't like the fearful/censoring atmosphere. As far as the first problem, I have not heard one squeak about it being resolved. There still is no ability to block users. These problems remain. They are real issues. They are in need of fixing.
I'd like to see what you would do if you were being constantly harassed for months on end. People do have their limits.
In that post of yours in question here you mixed 2 completely different [not really interrelated IMHO] issues.
I never talked here/above about the second one, namely the harassment issue . I agree it can be pretty bad indeed! I only think it is not very platform specific (more internet specific), but I agree more can/should be done by the Steem devs.
