As an independent I have evaluated the posts and comments

… created by you and Hive account@steem-network.

Hive account@mejustandrew, you are writing false assertions and concomitantly you are fooling newbies! I'll explain the facts:

• Hive account@steem-network is an official account created and approved by Steemit, Inc., that is confirmed by the blockchain.
• Steem Network is a community which works on the same blockchain as steemit.com, busy.org, …
• Steem Network doesn't claim on any of their posts/comments to work for or being affiliated with Steemit, Inc.
• The Mute Button allows a user to stop seeing the posts/comments of a particular user! Source
• The blockchain confirmes that Hive account@steem-network is curating authors constantly through upvotes since 2017-12-22. (Note, all users are limited by their voting power and bandwidth.)
• In terms of the many positive replies Hive account@steem-network has received and the rising payouts to the authors using above instruction, it is a win-win for all participants.

Shame on you Hive account@mejustandrew, you yourself could have researched better.
