I don't support or encourage anyone to keep using Steemit. But I do get that with the economy now lots of people want to double-dip and keep farming Steemit while they can. It's not optimal as that still gives Steemit extra transactions, volume, page views and all that but that aside, its at their own risk.

That's not the case for people who are willingly set themselves up as some sort of ambassadors or group leaders in Steemit. That's where we get into malicious intent because what those people are doing is basically entrapping and tricking new users. Steemit isn't what it was when it was decentralized. It's a private blockchain. When someone openly encourages some random person who happened to stumble on it to post and invest they're outright deceiving them for the pure cocaine profit of Justin Sun and his lackies. No one knows what accounts will be locked next and whose funds stolen. It's like those types who sell MLM. They are fucking over another human being for a few bones their overlords throw at them in the form of votes.

Lots of people on Hive disagree with one another but during the hostile takeover, a '51% attack' on a DPOS protocol, those different people came together and first tried to save Steem and then built Hive. This was a fight against theft, fraud, and criminality. Justin Sun thought he was buying people's accounts, their work, their businesses (the dapps). He didn't get what he paid for because you can't sell something that belongs to someone else and just expect it to go well. So when I see people who openly support, with full knowledge as when you're gifted some leadership role there you're not just some random, the indoctrination of new users into that trap its a whole different matter. That's not being a bystander in a crowd who did nothing out of self-preservation. That's being one of the attackers.

Any Steemit pseudo employee working for the scraps thrown at them can turn right around and go back to licking Justin Sun's boots.
