I think you are posting about a watershed moment in Steem.
"...it is me who picks what I choose to see..."
That's how Fakebook started out too. Don't you remember? All the ads have since been added, and the means of controlling message has been continually refined as Fakebook serves it's customers. Note that this is not the users of Fakebook, but the investors, which include the CIA.
Fakebook was primarily a surveillance tool, and is expanding into censorship and propaganda, as was intended from the get go.
Steemit wasn't created that way, but as it increasingly succeeds, those same forces are moving to take advantage of the platform. Fakebook is probably about to emulate the rewards mechanism, in some subtly twisted profiteering, propagandist way.
Dlive following in Fakebook's footsteps is a shot across our bow. We should consider what this means for the platform, Steem, and how the blockchain can be used against us.
Nothing can't be used as a weapon. We do have enemies. They are going to hurt us.
Only by paying attention can we better avoid that harm, and prevent further harm in the future.
Thanks!
