No, but the system should be blamed, and I don't see anybody doing that.
NObody should be able to have their account nuked because somebody with more clout decides to do so on a whim, and/or because they don't like the content (like bernie nuking the gal with the sick daughter because it seems he thinks it's impossible for vaccinations to cause harm, ever).
That's the death of steemit. People aren't going to mass adopt when they find out their hard work/time/effort/passion can be wiped out, with no protections nor recourse. It's fun for people with big accounts to swing their dicks around, but for serious content builders looking at investing into steemit....seeing that is pretty close to a deal killer.
I'm still hanging around, but I just can't justify seriously investing time/effort, when somebody can not like what I say and wipe that all out. Yeah, yeah, I can then spend the equivalent of a full time job trying to get others with clout to help me out and get my rep/earnings back etc, but that's not something most people are going to be willing to do, and again, no mass adoption, no increase in steem value.
Well, even though I do agree with you to some extent, or even most of what you've said, I believe that bernie's recent actions and posts are his way to blame the system. In a way.
However, instead of making posts like "The system is bad. Fix it!", he prefers to go head-to-head with other dolphins/whales, by flagging content they upvote for instance.
I have no idea if this is true or not, so you should definitely not take my word for it. And it might be way more than that too... But I personally believe, it's due to things like this bernie is doing what he's been doing.
I can't speak for him or his actions, I just usually enjoy the show because he's literally the only one doing something about something. And like I've said, I don't agree with each thing he has said or done, and I would obviously be sad if my Steemit account where to be killed too.
However, somewhere in all of this fuzz, I still believe bernie is a good guy working for a better place.
