I understand the frustration with seeing mediocre content getting such massive rewards, but I disagree that there isn’t lot of great content on here. It just doesn’t always get rewarded appropriately. Notariety seems to matter more than quality, and SOMETIMES notieriaty comes from good content. More often it comes from having a big fat upvote and friends with big fat upvotes who put you on autovote.

Still, I’m not craving the polarized arguments of other platforms. I think we can disagree respectfully, as I often do...or just ignore people who aren’t going to listen to what we have to say anyway.

I could easily reply to every post on anarchy-capitalism that I think anarcho-capitalism is a pretty stupid fucking oxymoron because those who have the most will become state like entities unless they are intent on creating a world with distributed power. I could say that any argument about human nature is null and void because anyone with such a certain one sided stance on human nature doesn’t know shit about human nature. Now I don’t say that on the billions of posts that seem to think govt. sucks but capitalism is the shit because I know peoples beliefs generally don’t change when you attack them or try to belittle them. I’m also willing to admit that I may have something to learn from ANYONE.

So if you are hungry for controversy. Go somewhere else dude, it’s not difficult to find. I have a ton of unpopular opinions and I speak them openly and enough people still like me cause I bring up these unpopular opinions mainly just to search for solutions peacefully. If people want to turn this place into a shithole, either from too much controversy or too much ass kissing, I’ll try to gather the community I’ve forged here and head off somewhere better, cash out my Steem and put it somewhere else. For now I still see lots of forward thinking, open minded and interesting people having productive conversations here to warrant putting lots of time into the platform, and it’s paying off. I mean only telling you this cause I was you a few months ago and now I’m kicking myself because that was three months wasted just focusing on the negative shit.

Hope you stick around and channel your dissatisfaction into something productive that you can feel good about, like I have.
