Glad you mentioned this. I've been whining about this on reddit for 2 weeks now
- Steemit is control grid [confirmed]
- Steemit is probably control grid. The litmus tests are it's bitcoin basis, avaricious virality, people like WAC supporting it, and that they suppress 'conspiracy'
- Steemit self-censorship of tag "conspiracy". It doesn't list the tag for conspiracy, so you can't search/browse for it, making all conspiracy posts 'hidden' and therefore self-censored. But it's there.
I just wrote a long article on steemit about it, and other observations and speculations:
