I don't want to re-purpose what has already been told. Read this article by @mahdiyari and continue to the comments. There was so much development going behind STEEM. Justin Sun could have just released the SMTs and made himself a massive profit eventually. Most of the community welcomed him positively or neutrally. Yet this idiot who paid $4.6 million USD to have a dinner with Warren Buffet (and post it on Twitter) had to act as a control freak and use F-Bombs all over official statements from his account.

The Obvious Implications

The Ridiculous Implications

The Serious and Tragic Consequences

All of these may look like very distant things to many of you who are used to freedom and free speech. Even Facebook is censorship infested compared to STEEM. Just imagine Steemit ending up worse than that (as a front end). I plan to keep most of my SP voting for witnesses and I suggest we put pressure on Justin Sun to eventually give up and leave STEEM altogether. Maybe STEEM will die on its own and HIVE will thrive. Just don't be too rash to judge. If the community act strong and play the long game, we may end up having both STEEM and HIVE blockchains.
