A lot of things happened/were/are happening that weren't supposed to be.
Many promises were made and broken. I see this as a natural consequence. I see no obligation on @ned's part after everything that has happened and after how he has been treated.
At the end of the day it was his stake, not yours, and not anyone else's. His.
And now it is Justin's.
Yes, he changed his mind. It's his mind. He has a right to change it. Perhaps, he has a very good reason. Perhaps, he became as disillusioned with Steem as I have.
No, I don't feel offended. You don't know me. You don't know me as a person. Your opinion is just that, your opinion. I have my own opinions too.
You can and have stated your opinion, I have stated mine.
Since you brought it up:
I love how here on Steem, self-interests are constantly painted as "helping" other people.
What? You and/or others didn't have any incentive to curate my or other people's posts? No one received anything for those curations, whatsoever? Really?
Fact: My original content was used for someone else's profit.
Wow, just wow. :)

And furthermore, I mistakingly thought my content was curated based on quality and not as a favor of some sort to be redeemed in the future. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
And to quote you: "Wow, just wow." That is exactly how I have been feeling after what I have seen and what I have experienced. I hung on after a lot happened hoping for better, but instead of things getting better they became even worse. It really is unbelievable.
This quote I read recently really hit home with me:
"Steem: A digital representation of everything that is wrong with the world."-Anonymous
I thought there was a movement on Steem to do things better, to advocate for positive change, to make an impact.
Instead, it really does seem like a microcosm of everything I don't want.

It was based on quality but not based on there being something in it for me or stakeholders profiting off of it like you seem to imply. If anyone's profited off of it it's Steemit due to adrevenue. I'm just shocked you'd take the side of someone who's shown what he's ready to do and possibly always intended to break up this community and chain.
