You have totally spoke my mind, I've been here for like 10 or eleven months and I saw how everything changed. The haejin problem turned into a butterfly effect making a disaster with the flag war and the selfishness/dont care response, in my opinion this is gonna be an endless problem if a big whale don't try to put things together here. Second thing I really felt alike was the content issue, quality, and even if it really never was about the content. I can make a list about how many things I learnt thanks to steemit, from video editing, to have a better writing, and even to socialize more and more. As you said, I don't think it was always like that, so negative and greedy, but the high numbers in the marker are hard to resist for some greedy users, people take a lot of time to realize that in a well organized and fair community is more probably to be successful than a bunch of selfish greedy individuals acting by themselves, you earned my vote for you as a witness with this post man, best thoughts of the week I read here, by far.
Thank you very much for the comment and the witness support :D
Totally agree with this, and hoping more people tag a long with this approach in time...
