I don't celebrate our current situation, but I like to see changes coming. Ignoring the same shit over and over again won't do us a favour.

If I would code a comment bot that spams peoples posts as @iflagtrash did for years already, it would be downvoted to rep 0 and put on blacklists within a few days. So, our 'trusted' witnesses are incapable of removing that moron from our network. Incapable, even if they hate all the spam, because they would lose their income.

Our top witnesses are creating blacklists for accounts that post politically incorrect content. Saying that just nobody cares would not be 100% accurate. Nobody wants to lose trust by the self-chosen kings. It has become a fully centralized shit-show a long time ago and we all know this. Why should investors join such a self-destructing mindset based network?

I didn't take any drugs for over a year, but I agree that most of us still live in a hallucinatory world on Steem. Maybe now in these testing times we have a chance to see our own mistakes better and stop ignoring all that what was driving away big investors.

At least DPOS needs to be rethought completely, because as we see in its current form it cannot protect us against a takeover. We need to decide what is more important to us. Fighting a billionaire who we welcomed with freezing his funds or working together and improving the system for a win-win.

Currently, by fighting him in his posts, big stakeholders are doing their best to destroy us completely. Not the wisest decision for sure.
