I love steem ecosystem a lot because of the unending opportunities especially loads of top applications like Dtube, Dlive, Utopia, busy.org, Dmania, Dsound and Steemit et al. Moreover, steemit is a platform that provides equal opportunity for all members to making money blogging what he/she loves –without investing money? Unlike Facebook that excels on exploiting its members data´s and selling to the highest bidders.
Conversely, however, steemit is currently looking like a capitalist platform that promotes and rewards the rich (those with high steem power ) , those with whales contacts and or ability to buy votes or delegate steem power –however is it all bad? Here are some few points:
Power to censor: Many members accuse steemit of being systematic censored by those who have the steem power to flag /down vote those they disagree with. However that is the way steemit is made to be : you can chose to down vote /flag (call it punish) those you disagree with and it is good to use such power against spammers (follow for follow, vote for vote- copy and paste spamm comments) scammers, plagiarists and low content creators. Therefore, you can call it controlled censorship against bad guys , especially those that produce less quality posts - however quality is subjective.
Inequality / Human nature: The gap between the rich and the broke is quite huge here and has always been like that in capitalist countries (Greed which is human nature is an issues -especially from those who rape the reward pool through spammy mass posts / comments - upvoting all ). However, is there any platform that does not reward its investors more? Even in platforms examples, Facebook, reddit , linkedin et al –members do not earn a cent only their investors or shareholders are the big earners. Therefore I am not sure that steemit inc can ever solve the growing gap between whales and minnows, except we community members –especially those with large steem power take action by reserving some steem power in order to upvote quality posts from minnows and other less privileged members. Importantly , to succeed here, your success lies on the point below:
Steem Power: Steem power is the secret to succeeding here because if you have enough steem power, you will not depend on bots upvotes and hoping for people to upvote your posts. Moreover, you gain more in passive income : interest payments , curation reward, author rewards and you can even delegate power and get daily return-however is it not the capitalism we are preaching against? The truthful answer is no!!! Because without those investors that take risks in buying steem and powering up, our steem will be worthless –therefore, they have right to a juicy return on investment (ROI).
Therefore, steemit might be a capitalist platform to many, however its success lies on people investing big money in steem power and getting something back in return.
