Well... I can't say that I don't enjoy Steem.. I really do. It's my naughty secret, among many others.
Naughty? you may ask... "How could Steem be naughty?" Well lemme show you.
Absolutely every single one of those arguments were aimed at the internet and repeated ad-nauseam back during the 90's. The major media of the time were shit-terrified of such a disruptive technology, and did everything they could to crush people enthusiasm for it. And now, the "Free" internet services, which are anything but, are shit-terrified of people owning themselves online. Even governments are scared, because if self-ownership becomes a thing in a virtual space, how long before people start agitating for it in on the ground?
I've been researching this heavily within certain occult (e.g. concealed) subcultures lately, that are all, in their own way, incarnating the subtle art of IDGAF. For me, Steem is part of that research. Steem reminds me of what the net used to be, prior to the fetters of social media. I have never considered it to be source of financial freedom, for I consider such to be a pipe-dream. When I want money, I'll get a damned job...
And I'm getting one, because I want an RV for me and my fur-baby... and I'll kill debt, and I'll save plenty, and I will have many experiences that others beat themselves black-and-blue to get, all while laughing and playing my harmonica, gathering more strength and Learning. I found the cheat-code for Life. It's been here all along...
And it is every bit as forbidden and demonized as you would expect. Society cannot abide Freedom.
But as Aunt Lili says: FAIR IS FAIR. I'm so grateful...
And yes.. I'll be posting it here, because why not?
