Hive account@creativetruth, I will remind you of your words, "It gives me clarity why the top witness rarely bother to engage with the masses." Perhaps I have misjudged what you meant by that statement. Here's your chance to explain "why the top witness rarely bother to engage with the masses" and what your new-found clarity is with regard to the same. It is on the basis of that statement that I have judged you. Please do give me reason to change my opinion with an explanation of what you intended to express.

You wrote, "What confuses me now is why you are judging me and others who agree with your underlying message, but know they should beware to use this language themselves".

There's a phrase used often in the business world - Lead, follow or get out of the way. Obviously, you are neither leading, nor following in an effort to curtail, or at least expose, classism on the Steemit platform. Those who agree with my underlying message and stand idly by are consenting, enabling and entrenching classism.

I understand that you and others are financially depend upon Steemit for income. I am not and I'm not compromised by neediness. I am free to say what perhaps you and others should say, but are afraid to. The members of the NIGGER CLASS need to know what has happened with the rollout of HF20. Those who know aren't going to say and those who don't know are being dismissive.

I want to point something out to you. I could replace the word NIGGER here with VICTORIAN CHILD LABOURER, or NATIVE AMERICAN, or CHINESE AMERICAN, or ITALIAN-WOP AMERICAN, or CELT UNDER ROMAN RULE, or SAMARITAN UNDER ASSYRIAN RULE, or TIBETAN UNDER CHINESE RULE, or HINDU UNDER MUGHAL RULE and so on. I could even replace NIGGER with BOY, another word used by elites to express their condescending, contemptuous self-designated superiority over the under-class of many, many societies. This is NOT A RACE ISSUE, this is an ABUSE OF POWER ISSUE. Everyone knows what NIGGER means, even if they don't know how entrenched abuse of power is and how far back in human history it goes. Anyone who has been oppressed can related personally to the abuse experienced by the NIGGER we know very well.

And here it still is, alive on Steemit, where the wealthy have zeroed out the vote-value of plankton, centralized control over the top 20 witness list and abolished the work in option. There's monetary valuation on all sorting and ranking, 'low value' content is sent directly to the bottom. Even the 'New' category isn't sorted by creation datetime stamp, nor is the 'Hot' (popular) category ranked by number of views or comments. You will see only what money has already bought.

What's the ROI from feeding minnows? How do investors profit? Why are bots upvoting, while few read posts? It looks like a charade simulating a social network platform contrived for public optics.

They've begun reclaiming 'charity'.
