[BLOGGING IN STEEMIT] The Importance of Being Honest

You are correct in saying that there is a lot of posts that are just a copy of other stuff. But the point of the platform is to filter these post with the voting system and it will get there. But you have to keep it mind that the upvoting community might not always think like you. A lot of stuff I don't like gets upvoted and I am fine with that.

Sure, that is ok to publish posts with different views on different matters but still there's so many posts that are produced "to make money only", not to bring sonething new to the system, fresh blood I would say. And this is what disappoints me. I guess that the exchange of opinions and sharing experience should be the number one preference:)

Fresh blood can't even get in right now. So it's totally wasted money too. Basically the front page is starting to look like one of those "OMG I can't believe Google pays me $9,000 a month!" scams. It's causing the site to lose credibility in the eyes of legitimate people who are trying to come to the platform and use it as an agent of change.

But hey, it's our platform. When the 1% controlled 99% of the wealth, the 99% created bitcoin. Steem stems from that same spirit. So imagine what happens to that spirit when this platform becomes over concentrated with too much power in too few hands.

Hopefully this won't come to a point where folks can't do a search for real content. I think if you follow someone who consistently writes honestly you can always catch their real posts. We can form our own sub community of real people.
