Like the title of this blog say's, is it fair to judge a cover rather than what's inside? What if someone has a history of being a 'not so nice person'
It's true that in life there are many surprises, and we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. However appearance and conduct are two different things. What do I mean by that? Well it's one thing to judge based upon looks alone. I could see a beautiful women and assume she is a gold digger. Of course this could be totally wrong; but it is society at large that has re-enforced these stereotypes. Stereotypes effect all of us on a conscious and subconscious level. In effect, society programs many pre-conceived notions into people. Even 'things' can get a stereotype without getting to know the heart of any matter.
(Pretend there is an image of a hot female that is smart)
So moving on, is it fair to give everyone a shot? Or is it fair to move on if certain books are known to contain bad content. Ok enough with the allegories; books are people, and covers are the outside persona's we see. Certain people may have done absolutely nothing to us, and yet their conduct is well known. The blockchain for instance on social networks like Steemit records people's conversations and actions. So if I were to say, READ all about certain people on steemit conversations and replies, perhaps I'm judging a person based on their PAST conduct. After all those pesky threads cannot be deleted.
If you didn't know what I am leading too it has to do with past conduct, and perhaps a guess of what kind of plots and scams that will come next. Sometimes revenge is about power rather then getting back at someone. Perhaps an idea is born simply out of being the loser. Losers generally want to be the ones to call the shots. I don't have a crystal ball, but sometimes the book is just open to read and digest. Perhaps that's where my lack of faith is born from. You know the old adage; "Knowledge is power", and "Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing".
As one viper said to me, "KABOOM"
For clarity, I'm talking about some whales, some clone steemit sites, and even some SCOT token sites. Militant down voting accounts; wrong tags and posts removed..
Yup your crypto can be removed even if the tag is relevant to OTHER SCOT front ends. We don't need to complain as there are plenty of rewards available; but the G-d complex of some who have much staked is a sad reality of this crypto-blog-sphere STEEM multiverse Universe.
At least it's not necessarily buyer beware; I understand there needs to be strict policies especially with limited tokens available; but once bitten twice shy. I wouldn't support a token if I'm afraid to post under it's tag.
