Someone in comments requested more pictures. I have decided in this case to oblige the request but be warned, telling authors that you want more pictures in their work is not the shortest avenue towards earning respect for your intellect...
That said, enjoy. But I suspect this is more of a 'be careful what you wish for' situation.
Thanks cryptome! (https://cryptome.org/dodi/2018/tp525-8-6.pdf )
Strap in. We're going deep..................
Questions? Comments? I'm all ears. I'm here for an open discussion, tell me I'm wrong. Tell me what I'm missing. Tell me what I don't get. Just don't censor me and don't pull any manipulative crap.
Hey, I want to do this stuff full time. Either hire me to write for you or support my work, but if I don't find a way to survive, I can't wake up and do this every day now can I. Making a leap of faith spending so much time on this as it is. Promoting myself in such a way that I get past the gatekeepers of whatever industry has always been impossible for me, largely because they look for orthodoxy more than ability usually.

There is a world of difference between Facebook and Steemit just due to the codebase being open source vs. hidden. In theory, the open source nature of Steem and Steemit means that anyone with skill can duplicate the entire system and make their own version - which is absolutely not the case with Facebook. This therefore means that there is a failsafe built in to allow users to 'rebel' if needed. That said, as with offline reality - to do so requires organisation, agreement, need and desire - which are typically lacking among the users of most social networks, though it certainly could be a possible outcome at some point.
As far as Amazon goes, I was not aware of Steemit.com being hosted on Amazon, but if it weren't Amazon it would be somewhere else and the various alphabet agencies are thoroughly hardwired in to the internet backbones anyway, so while Amazon might make it easier for bad actors to use state systems to manipulate outcomes than other hosts might - there is no real guarantee with any of them.
Ultimately, to enact 'full spectrum dominance' on the steem blockchain would require the code for the nodes to be manipulated and for no-one to realise - which is possible, but given that anyone can examine the source code, it is likely that eventually it would be found out. That, again, is no guarantee of anything. As long as we are using systems made by others we don't know, there will always be possibility for us to be exploited, so the only way forward is to either use no systems, make our own systems or just work with what's available. If we make our own systems, then the problem doesn't go away, it just means that we personally feel safe, but others don't.
As with everything, the more we know, the more active we are and the more our intent is purely aligned to balance, healing and evolution - the more we will shape reality to meet our real needs. It's good to be vigilant but also good to not create problems that don't exist.

thank you for the careful consideration, upvoted.
I am of course not certain, I made a few leaps without evidence because I feel at this point I would be naive if I did not. I actually put the same question to stan just now, we'll see what he says.
I am proud I at least summarized the questions in an entertaining concise way, and as time goes on we will be able to refer back to this point and see what turned out to be good, and what turned out to be bad.
if every search goes through google, and tracking is turned on, then i have doubts about anyone who cares about my privacy. and anyone who doesn't care about my privacy is suspect.
thanks for taking the time to consider, you earn my respect when you address my questions and I hope I will be able to reflect that back when possible.

stan's forbes article documenting his ties to the american military industrial complex:

decentralize today's article about steemit:
https://archive.fo/fKPmx
"The developer, upon realizing that he had lost some control of the supply, decided to re-launch STEEM to ensure that he alone had majority of supply (at least 75%+ of supply). As you can see the developer did everything possible to ensure almost complete centralization."
The BS/H debate and most others revolve around this issue, a small number of accounts play kingmaker while a huge number of accounts spam.
People like myself are forced into a near begging position while other accounts that are brand new and post relatively little other than talking heads babbling videos, get mysteriously upvoted into high reputations quickly.
Waiting for any actual response from anyone who might know.
FWIW, I watched @stan on this projectcamelotportal interview and I LIKE the guy, he says a lot of things that I agree with about freedom and tyranny, the purpose of blockchain tech.
https://projectcamelotportal.com/2017/11/20/stan-larimer-bitshares-cryptocurrency/
So I am really down the rabbithole here, I want to believe this guy can work for lockheed for his whole life and then leave it, but so much of what I know says that once you are on that side of things that you are just part of it forever.
This blog post is one-sided, a critical view of steemit and bitshares, and I am still working it out. But until one can see this side of it, I don't think anyone is ready to actually look for the answers that would actually lead to actual Truth Now.

BitcoinLatina, the new project they are promoting seems like a centralized token as well, humm idk man... I have a couple of bad feelings that I hope totally wrong; Had the same with AriseBank and now you're connecting some dots here that my mind is blowing.

Thanks for the comment, are there any other platforms that use blockchain so writer's work can't be censored and give the chance for earnings?
I wonder what it would be like to write for a platform that wasn't outright ghost/gaslight censoring me?
Wow, how sweet that would be, to be judged by the quality of your work as opposed to whether or not you said what rich people wanted you to. Wow, to imagine....maybe on some other planet.
To me it's more about the anon donors now that I know the nature of the steem overlords. I hope they have to work hard to censor me and that it ruins their day.

This is insightful, thanks.
Like I write in the morpheus meme, you have to test your limitations to know if they are actually real. I'll give the embermyne a look, but the truth is I have actually made 1k in coin here and that's' better than elsewhere. And until I see proof that it's not an actual blockchain, the idea that the stuff will be online here for a long long while is at least encouraging. I don't have to worry about the mucky muck workings of reddit going through and censoring things from years back they don't like.
I can't believe how much i posted at u/mindhawk on reddit lol. check my controversials, they are all israel related, everything I ever said about israel got downvoted to 0 without any discussion, it's pretty blatant.
Here, it seems that if I say anything that is not 'steemit is the best!' that no one upvotes or comments, which if that's the level of critical thinking here then it is probably a ponzi.
I don't think they would be building EOS if there wasn't a fundamental flaw to steemit, as in, I think that as time goes on there will be so few people like myself making real content and so many bots/agents/gangs that very little value will be there while a ton of currency is extracted and that simply has to be inflationary.
So yes, I am right now on bitshares actually having a lot of fun and doing what you're saying, investing in some tokens.
I think that as long as my work here is public and I post my anon coin address, that if I tell the truth the best bet for income is the anons who like that I'm doing actual work that is helpful.
At the moment I am having a hard time coming up with my next post because there is tooooo much to write about lol. Which is in a way a good sign, but also it's all bad news so there's that.
btw check out this user: https://steemit.com/@areaka/comments
She commented and upvoted to say 'touche' but does that really go with any of her other activity? Stands out a little bit doesn't it that someone would come to steemit, make 12 posts, 11 meaningless, and then come HERE to this thread and say touche? wtf is that lol?
