RE: What if Steemit was a democratic system?

in #steemit6 years ago

Just today I realised the problem with the inequality and the gap between rich and poor on steemit. I thought it was a good alternative to facebook and all the other suckers, but actually it is NOT a SOCIAL platform at all. It contributes to the world's problems and psychological issues of lack of power and self-esteem of the poor and incentivises an antidemocratic system that hasn't been seen in this form so far.

This platform is actually an evil playground for control, power and shows how societies should not work. And the user interface sucks very much, so it's not even worth it, I don't know where all this money goes.

And now, let's not talk about the monetary aspect, but the impact on objectivity. This platform will never provide neutral news to the world, as the trending and hot content will always be controlled by a small group of people with defined political, religious views and determined norms and values.

So how can we blame facebook for not dealing with the spread of fake news and favourising certain content, if we will NEVER be able to make steemit a neutral place for any information or view?
