With some sorrow I write this post. Steemit was a great idea. It is now a phenomenal example of how good ideas can turn bad. Utter disregard for imposing any rules or controls has brought this platform down to the pits of hell. If this platform in any way is a representation of an Anarchist society then count me out.
lack of interaction, voting and curation has plagued the platform.
This has occurred because of vote selling, vote buying and bid bot services.
In turn this has led to lower quality posts.
Grumpycats like things have entered the community.
Haejin like accounts are draining the pool via accounts that exist to upvote such posts.
Self upvote of comments is allowed.
Steemit is not going anywhere until all means of destroying the platform are removed. Once I thought that in 2 years that price of Steem would be at least 10 dollars. It may never get there thanks to larceny on the platform.
I am out. Most of my friends have sold their upvotes. So none is actually looking at my stuff. Time spent interacting and making friends and building a feed have gone to waste and I am unwilling to start all over again. Even if I build up everything again, it will be lost to the cycle. I will write for Steemstem at times. It remains a great community. Good luck to minnows trying to make it here on the platform.
Until the garbage services show up and clean up this place, I will find a better place to express myself. MB can have my votes.
It's not all bad. I use autosteem to sort out the garbage posts automatically. My focus is on using what little influence I have to support quality content.
I know better than to quit the day job and if I make a few bucks in the process, it's ok. I'm here to blog.
Maybe you are right. I entered recently on this cryptosocialnetwork, and I'm not posting for steem, but because I thought here I would meet a lot of interesting people creating content. But just a week in the platform and I realized that EVERYTHING is about how many votes someone has, how many bots like your post, etc. I think steemit is a good idea but it should promote more interaction.
I would appreciate you delegating some SP to me. I have a a requests on the MB site for 450SP for 2 weeks. I'll renew the lease every two weeks if you aren't going to be on here, the Steem would add up over time.

What are you wanting extra SP for, @mathiasian? So you can be an even bigger troll? Downvoting anyone and everyone you disagree with who has less SP than you?
I feel sorry for you @mathiasian that you feel you have to keep downvoting me for something I've done, cowardly, without telling me what it is that I've done to upset you. If I've written something so wrong, why don't you put me in my place with an intellectual argument? You could even enlighten me. I'd be so grateful.
You want to be remembered as a bully-boy & a coward, then? Do you have your own children who some day you'd like to remember you this way? (I assume your online persona reflects your offline one. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.)
So, yeah, I do feel sorry for you. Just probably not half as sorry for you as you yourself feel?
Dude, I down-voted you $0.01. I don’t care for Anti-American commie nonsense. You’ve down voted my posts too, and I never cried about it. Spamming all of the comments I’ve made is abuse that I will be reporting to Stem Cleaners.
Lol! You've downvoted at least 3 of my posts. I downvoted one of yours, realised I was being as immature as you, felt it was daft, so undid it. I accept I'm probably older than you so I should try showing you a good example. That's the way I am, though. From your blog, I see you're a bit of a jew-hater which says everything I need to know about you.
Cry all you like to the steem cleaners. For spamming 'all' of the comments you've made?
But I think I was justified in letting people know what kind of person you are should anyone - in a position of having more SP - ever feel like trying to push you around, by downvoting you a little.
Anti-American commie nonsense? The fact that I like the majority of the world can see Trump is not good for the US / the world makes me an anti--American, commie? Grow the fuck up!
Please.
What a cry baby. Lol 😂.
Are you ready to admit Tammymc is your right hand and NOT your lover (like you've been pretending 'she' is for some really weird reason only you will understand)? You're kind of being blatant about it with ALL your downvotes coming all at once. Are you not? You have six accounts. No-one could possibly be in any doubt.
What would Donnie say?
SAD!
PMSL @ virginboy :D
He is my brother you disgusting faggot. We found your degenerate swingers page btw, and every post that earns you as much as 1 cent is going to be down voted from here on out. http://archive.is/YLY6M your'e a sicko in more ways than I can count. I would bet money that you are on a sex offenders registry.
I can't be arsed unblocking your tammymc account, maty, but you KNOW you've been rumbled. Not even trailerpark-trash could be so dumb.
Did you not go to school as a kid?
Hey @mathiasian,
We're half-way through March and on SIX occasions, I've managed to gather up four or more extra followers for my flock.
You've done that just once (back on March 3rd).
Are you not trying to win?
What was your wanking hand (aka tammymc) doing UPVOTING some of my posts as I slept last night? Was that meant to look accidental? Like it wasn't little ol' you? :D You're good, you are! ;) ;) ;)
I'm the cry-baby?
But you're the one on the down-vote rampage tantrum?
Bro why don't you digest the Indian food and sleep on it. Steem is one of a handful of cryptos ACTUALLY being used for something, and if nothing else let your account generate money for you while your away.
