I think I saw a meme on Facebook once, posted by a hot chick I used to want to fuck. It said something like, "If you can't put up with me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."
I found out later, even her at her best was annoying.
I don't like hype.
To me, my brain automatically converts hype into lies. My mind travels to all those fast food hamburger commercials. It looks so good, and I really like burgers.
Then I get it home and it's slop. Licking the television would have brought me more joy and saved me ten bucks.
Another thing that pisses me off about hype is how often I've fallen for it. I tend to process these things internally for hours on end and then...
Boom!
There's brain and thoughts all over the walls! Nobody is safe!
I've studied things that somewhat make me smart at times. I don't want to get into details because playing dumb was part of the course.
I needed to find a way to sift through the hype and get straight answers.
One of the best ways to get pure honesty is to give pure honesty. One of the best ways to show honesty is to be openly pissed off about something.
Thank you for visiting my post yesterday to give me some honest feedback. I needed that.
I don't go to the big game just to watch the cheerleaders.
Yes, they're gorgeous and I do glance over from time to time. They serve no real purpose though, can be kind of annoying, and sometimes distract people away from seeing the best catch in history.
Cheerleaders also repeat the same things, in unison.
Currently, there are few good posts about Hive, full of necessary details. The rest is noise and I'm annoyed with that hype.
I'm looking for a place where I can feel confident in a future. Not another crypto project that's hyped through the roof and then slowly (sometimes quickly) goes stale.
Apparently
I don't have a home now.
In case you haven't heard, Steemit Incorporated is now censoring posts.
At this very moment, I write in fear. I could be silenced at any minute, on Steemit.
This could be my final post on Steem.
I don't require a choir of cheerleaders to know what home looks like.
This is not my home.
I looked into Voice as well and I already know my brand won't fit in there. Some educated idiot might come along and misinterpret cartoon violence as gore and take off-color humor seriously. It wouldn't shock me if I got banned on Voice for attempting to explore the arts while maybe pushing a few of society today's barriers down and pissing on them.
Maybe I'm wrong but Voice doesn't seem like a place that wants entertainment, and that's fine. You don't go to the library to do a comedy show. I'm smart enough to know you can't order a prostitute at the pizzeria.
Hive
Are you people fucking serious about this?
Give me a fucking stage and I will bring the people. I'm going to test you motherfuckers to see what you're made of.
I had stated in my Decentralization and Thoughts on Toilet Paper post:
I... prefer to have a place where I can explore the arts freely without the fear of petty differences cultivating nonsensical consequences. Take that freedom away; I go away.
I wasn't bluffing.
In all my years being involved with Steem, I never once thought I'd say something like:
This fucking Steem is getting dirtier and dirtier by the day.
Seeing those posts get censored was the final straw for me.
Since the eyes are what's truly valuable in this world, I can't see myself giving folks a reason to come to Steem and look at this filth.
I have officially lost everything, including my mind. I'll go over to Hive and see if it's there.
If it's not, well...
Go eat some Coronaburger =P

I guess we will see if the builders built i right soon enough. Some time that phrase "If you build it they will come" falls down due to shoddy construction, or lack of up keep. I think steem block chain started out with somewhat okay construction, but then failed to do the required upkeep on they foundation. Let's hope that Hive and the community that does join are able to keep the construction up to par at least.

I think that is the issue a lot of people are seeing. I will still have my steem account for another 2 1/2 years. Depending on content availability of Hive, my steem account will just be a voting account for content here, there is just no way I can vote and comment in two chains. It takes time to find content, then to read content to vote content, and if I feel like it to comment on content. Only so much time in a day.

I don't know what I'll do. I'm sure most of the incentives to hold steem will be removed soon enough.
Let me put it this way though:
If they don't want people to see something, then I won't look.
It breaks my heart someone might post here and I won't be around to see it. They know where my eyes will be though.

"few good posts"?
You obviously haven't read the Bluffer's Guide yet or spent any time hanging out in my neck of the woods 😜
Looks like my hand is slowly being forced to go to Hive as the dapps I use move over. I'll probably float for a month or so and see what's occurring but I'm not balancing blockchains again, fast track to "losing it" (assuming I had "it" already).

Yup. Removing posts from steemit.com was stupid and might be a final push for quite a few people. It is for me - I was already planning on at least trialing Hive and not just 'cross-posting', but this makes Steem feel very very much like a place I don't recognize anymore. Although I understand removing posts from steemit.com doesn't necessarily impact Steem it is showing what the powerful stakeholder's ideas are on ethics...
See ya on Hive I guess.

I'll be there, I guess. I suppose that's what happens when you're pushed away.
I'm not too comfortable with starting at the bottom, again. Hopefully this transition is seamless and I have enough eyes floating around me. I'm unwilling to produce art if there's no one around to look at it. Certainly won't be producing any if someone can simply take my chances of being seen away.
