I've been a member of steemit for about a month now, on another account. But I never felt I could speak freely about the platform incase I get flagged and my hard work sucked up and thrown down the drain by some whale.
So I decided to make another account just for speaking my mind
It's sad when I feel I can't speak my mind for fear of censorship. I really enjoy writing for this platform - I normally write on crypto, stats, and statistical modeling because those are my interests. But it feels really shitty when you put time and effort into writing quality posts and then you go visit the front page... You see a fucking picture with a caption under it and it has 1,000 upvotes. Or someone complaining about another user and it gets thousands of up votes. Meanwhile, I've been trying to add real value to the community here and get shit for it. It's frustrating to say the least.
but this account will be used mainly for speaking my mind about the platform, other steemit users, and crypto. Along with just the random brain garbage that I often have but don't feel like spending the time to really write up a full article on and proof read.
This is going to be my free writing account.
But there is a serious problem with steemit when little tiny users like me are afraid to speak their mind for free of censorship.
The whales have the ability to crush us, we must fight back
And this is my small effort as a way to fight back.
✅ @brueckh, let me be the first to welcome you to Steemit! Congratulations on making your first post!
I gave you a $.05 vote!
Would you be so kind as to follow me back in return?
Thank you for the upvotes... But frankly, these bots are even more of an issue than the individual whales are. You're just adding to the problem. Paid up votes, bots, whales, flagging real posts...
I totally agree with you
Right, I just felt like I had enough so I made another account. I am not sure what this will accomplish other than letting me speak freely, which I guess is noble enough.
You have a freedom of speech. Everybody should respect that.
True, but when you risk being flagged for your opinion on another user, you're at risk for your rewards being taken from you. You're hard earned effort being smashed because your reputation drops... What kind of system is that?
Unfortunately just like the "real" world.
