@themanualbot The 6 posts in 24 hours limit seems to be working fine right now. You can post all you want but after 6 original posts per 24 hours, there's a steep drop off in the author rewards. Silencing a social media platform would turn Steemit into the quietest social media platform in history.

With that kind of limit Steemit would easily devolve into just another form of alternative cryptocoin where posts don't matter.
