Yea OK! Lesson learned!
Hi! I'm a typical closed minded individual. I want to share my thoughts on the scam known as Steemit.
Steemit is a Scam!
Reasons:
- It works and I'm too lazy to learn how.
- There are other scams in crypto, this must be one of them!
- There are disproportional payouts. (I didn't get upvoted!)
- It's not open source! (uh, yeah it is.)
- It's 3 months old and everything isn't finished yet. Way to go, scammers!
- Steem, Steem Power, Steem Dollars...too confusing, work of a scam artist.
- Not Bitcoin? How is that not a scam?
- I bought Steem when it was $5, now it's $2.5. Scammed!
- Earn interest on Steem Power through a variation of POS? That's not POW like Bitcoin! Scammy!
Steemit is Dumb!
- I hate new things, this is a new thing so it must be a dumb.
- I made a post, it got downvoted. You're telling me that my recycled memes aren't cool?!
- I copy and paste news articles without giving credit to the sources. Where are my upvotes?!?
- People are having fun? Pfff. People only have fun if they do what I do.
Steem Has No Future!
- This can't last. Zero growth potential. ::while snapchatting PokemonGo hunts::
- Nothing can overtake something as established as Reddit. When's my Uber coming?
- Have you seen the inflation rate?! As a Venezuelan, I am happy to keep my money in the bank!
- Yeah, let me just go to the store and buy something with my Steem Dollars. LOL! Nice "money"!
- I logged out and I'm never signing back in! Now, everyone will hate Steemit as well!
Learn from me and don't earn this fake money on Steemit that I know absolutely nothing about. Save yourself the time and effort, by wasting your time and effort elsewhere on the Internet!
/end sarcasm
There's a saying that if you don't hear the "scam" word in crypto by your accusers, you are doing something wrong :P
Btw, I see some people don't get the sarcasm at all.

Your sarcastic humor was fun to read!
The shocking problem is that thousands of clueless people say those same things, and they aren't sarcastic -- they're serious.

Steem is not forkable, so that means not really open source since we can’t do anything with the source.
There is some evidence of this being a valid criticism.

Interesting points, I didn't know about the restrictions on the open source code.

This is just PERFECT. I have a lot of respect for healthy skepticism, but knocking something before investigating it, that's just dumb.

thanx for putting the sarcasm there :) This look like great content for memes as well. Great job on showing how it looks like when one says scam and possible reasons for one saying that. Way too funny.

Nicely done. Sometimes using reverse logic is the best way to get you point across.
I appreciate your effective use of sarcasm. Unfortunately it tends to go over the head of many of the sheeple. I hope your post makes some dough.

I try to source the images I use whenever I throw something together in MS paint, even when they are listed on google as being free to use with modification. Maybe I don't have to, but I just figure it's a good practice...
