Democracy is a good thing, until it is a weapon used to placate folks who think they're actually doing something to control their government, when they're not.
Then, it's a bad thing.
I do believe that some accounts, like @sherlockholmes, created for a single purpose that has common interest, such as @suggestionbox would generate, are able to grab followers that aren't put off by a mix of interests.
I haven't opened a second account, but from how many have done so, I suspect it isn't all that difficult to do. If you open that account, keep your mouth shut about other matters (so they don't become sticking points for potential followers), and #introduceyourself as a way for folks to dump ideas to improve Steemit, I would bet you'll find a great deal more eyeballs on your posts there, than you do here.
I'd put an SBD on it.
Wanna make a bet?
=D
Yes, the pseudo-democracy that we all live under is the blue pill of our culture, a powerful hallucinogenic that keeps us running on the treadmill while we believe we are dancing at the ball.
#suggetionbox wouldn't be like that since it claims no false powers to make things better and does not bind the powerful in velvet ropes.
I checked out @sherlockholmes. It's an interesting blog but he hasn't posted anything new in 3 months. Could it be Moriarty?
I haven't set up a second account yet either. I was waiting for @citizenzero to crash and burn and then open up another pseudonym to post pictures of kittens and recipes for pound cake and other topics of grave importance. Since I made 300 Steem in my first month and then have languished ever since, one new account per month might be just the ticket. (only kidding).
I'll take that bet. I really haven't been wasting enough time on Steemit and this is the perfect excuse to do so. Lol
I shall be looking forward to my phat winning! =)
