@chbartist, great post! All the censorship on Steemit is getting pretty toxic. If you get the chance, you should check out Whaleshares.io. This is a Steem-counterpart meant to be transparent, in that everything one rewards is also shared to the user's feed. Thus, everyone can see what people are supporting.
I am currently attempting to build a community of business intellectuals on Whaleshares (as well as Steemit). I believe that MAS-based chains provide a great outlet for buisness-minded people to share valuable knowledge and help promote fair crypto regulation.
If you are interested, check out the MET community account at this link.
Have a great day mate!
