It's called clipping our wings. Just when they realized we can fly, through the rising tide, they are taking the wind from under us. Like Smiths in the matrix, gate keepers are gatekeepers, come the moment of conversion. Lot's of folks are intentionally stiffing progress, when they know they can make things better. They want their own and not for others.
Together we elevate! Indie all the way. Let's support Musicoin more. :) I know I went off, but this place(Steemit) is so suppressing, I feel, of my kind of free thought, it's conformity to the community or no upvotes. Community is good and all, but isn't this enforced tribalism? Why don't they work on people being able to be discovered and sustain themselves without the need for a community? Isn't that what being decentralized is all about. I know I sound contradictory, being that I'm a part of many communities, but dang nabit. LOL #indieNetwork
