I keep on hearing this story about there being no censorship on Steemit and that flagging is not the same.

Well, why are you/they complaining about being 'de-monetised' on youtube then? They are not being censored, us, the public, if we take the trouble and search, we'll find their videos.

So, if it is the same here and there, why would anyone want to even try our beloved platform? It would not be because of the millions of viewers here. The way it is going, I will not be surprised to learn one day that we have more flaggers than creators (keep in mind that many of the flaggers - with their new accounts that have no posts so that they cannot be attacked - are actually those who are so-called 'curators or groups who call themselves curators. Have any of them declared they have an interest in flagging all who use their competitors?

You Tubers, never just believe what you are told, all platforms have the up and down sides. Make an informed decision always.
