Hi Steemians,
I'm back to do my a Bi-Yearly revue and the results are grim. Still nothing controversial seems to have been allowed to poke it's head through the wall of shit that seems to have infected this promising idea.
So the review is fairly simple as I don't want to waste too much time until there is some more obvious progress.
TRENDING: Randowhale is the top trending... BORING, I don't want to spend time trying to get whales to notice me, if this place is still controlled by whales, or groups of minnows acting like whales, then this place is still shit and I'll come bank in another 6 months.
NEW: For a category titled NEW this is seriously shitty stuff, nothing remotely controversial or interesting here... the top one is for a ICO that should be classed as spam by anyone with more intelligence than a fish
HOT: A couple of vaguely controversial topics, UFO stuff, Bitcoin price conspiracy stuff, but still nothing that looks exciting enough to waste time opening. Randowhale also gets a mention in here
PROMOTED: OMG it's Randowhale again, seriously if the posts that get the most attention are post about how to make money out of Steemit then this pile of dung has not improve 1 little bit from 6 months ago. People begging to be rich listening to other beggers pretending to be rich, all glad handing one another... it's a sick joke
I have not missed this place one bit in the last 6 months and I'm glad I left it alone.
Ideas that are not allowed on other platforms seem equally suppressed. When/if it becomes censorship resistant I would expect to see ideas that are abhorrent and vulgar and I'm not talking about Statism.
Still no effort has been made to embrace the controversial topics that are not allowed to be talked about elsewhere. If you can't talk about controversial and illegal topics on Steemit than it does NOT have censorship resistance, instead it has censorship obfuscation.
Best of luck to those who will push through the shit, I myself will wait until this model is improved or deprecated.
Thanks for all the fish :P
