Thanks for sharing this post and enlightening a lot of us.
Personally, I have been corruption on Steemit in the short time that I have been actively using it. Not a crazy amount, but i have definitely seen some people acting out of character to say the least. That being said, my overall experience with the platform has been extremely positive.
When I see corruption, I generally face up to it in a calm, as polite as can be manner. I let the person know that I know and that I'm against it, then wait and see what happens. Naturally, I then let the issue take its course. If I am right and said person is corrupt in some way, it usually comes out. If not, I'm not sure.. Each situation merits its own careful thought without a doubt.
Anyway, if the platform really is becoming quite corrupt, the best bet in my opinion is to form a discord group, explaining to people what this type of corruption generally looks like, without outing a person if possible - I'd rather people find out for themselves with a little guidance what is good and what is bad.
I would be happy to help set up and moderate such a group, if others are interested? Hit me up on discord @lukebrn or steemit chat also @lukebrn and we can talk more if you are. Thanks again for the post!
It's hard to call it corruption when there cannot be a security force against it because STEEMIT is supposed to be non-regulated.

What about peer regulated vs self-regulating (ai) ... let's see what changes Steemit makes as it evolves. It sure is very interesting times to be living in ... HODL! Peace out!

It will be interesting to see if/when STEEM migrates to the EOS platform as there is going to be an enhanced governance model there.

Peer-regulated = downvote. Is it working?

And another thing I noted is that people seem "sheisty" when it comes to up-voting comments. Even if they are small and add the slightest amount to the topic at hand, a comment should get at least an "auto-upvote" if we go with the "self-regulating ai" approach. In the end I think it should be a mix of both ...

Whatever action will be taken, must be through community agreement, not individuals or an AI. That is the logic of Steemit.

Alright. Cheers to that. I can get behind that. Thanks for the chat. And in regards to these fish analogies ... I don't think I am a red fish and definitely not a whale. Feeling disappointed with things like up-vote aggregates using accounts to curate and earn coin. Makes this whole experience seem shallow and watered down. Anyhow, maybe I'm being too much of a critic now ...
