I think indeed, this is also part of the problem: the "normal users" just want to blog and find some friends or even fans who support them. We're sometimes kind of "too respectful". We are also allowed to have an opinion. But of corse most of us don't want to be in a fight all day. Nice seeing you here, still have to read all your replies from yesterday.^^ This is all so much! The comments on this post here!

I'm afraid the time of me holding my tongue, is coming to an end. I would rather burn my account to the ground, speaking truth to injustice, than complacently capitulate to the will of the rich. If this causes mortal wounds to my account, I would rather suffer them now, while I have little invested. For this battle is inevitable. Would I even be willing to fight, if I had thousands of hours invested in it? For I could not bear to stand by and watch the beauty and potential this platform offers, slowly erode away, without my attempting to stop it.
So I will unsheathe my sword, as humble and pathetic as it may be and begin to strike at the root. Perhaps others will join me, and we may chop down the proverbial "bean stock" before the evil giants have free reign of our villages.
That's why @surfermarly is doing a great job. She has her reputation here. And she did it just with her content. She could easily lean back. But she doesn't. But I also couldn't blame her for having enough of it. There is a live beyond Steemit.
I'm personally very thankful for the actions of @surfermarly and all the other bigger names who are speaking of these issues. I'm also thankful for you speaking on them. I would have never found out about this had you not mentioned it. I have very little time to spend on Steemit, and it's rare that I will waste it looking at the trending page. Just a bunch of rubbish these days.
