@fyrstikken , you were already one of my favorite creators on Steemit. Now you are a true hero. :) People selling out to greed has led to the death of creativity and free speech. I have huge respect for anyone who says NO, and stands their ground. Bravo.
I think Steemit and platforms like it has the potential to groom a new generation of journalists and creators who speak directly to the audience, and not greedy middlemen.
