really don't understand why people think Steem is some sort of anarchist friendly place.
Steem isn't a democracy or anything run by the people for the people.
This is a kingdom: you have a king, nobilities... (and a court)
And we are basically here to amuse them... if they get amused, they'll throw you coins... if not...

I really have an issue with the fact that this post is visible on the web interface to me. It doesn't even fold up. My computer wasted milliseconds downloading something I do not want to see, and milliseconds of processing time rendering it to the canvas of the browser.
I never said it was a democracy. The blockchain has no restrictions against it being downloaded, also known as making a copy, and the whole system falls apart if nobody can do this. Any claim that this is anything other than public domain is unenforceable. The system itself, maybe you can make arguments about copyright, but copyright does not preclude implementing an interface that works with the data that every node has a copy of.
The only thing that makes this place unfriendly is unfriendly people, and the fact that the architecture as it stands today, does not make it so easy for a person to shun these unfriendly people. If it was easier to shun people, then the negative interaction would never take place, and then it would be a happier place.
