I only know what I read in Hive account@heimindanger 's post. You need to explain this to him than I guess.
"Then they added more centralized tools. Facebook login, Google analytics, and much more. They tracked you, while giving your data to big corps, and perfected their marketing techniques until you believed their lies good enough.

Then they started collecting your emails, with the innocent excuse that they want to alert you when a new stream that you follow starts. And you gave them your emails. And now you're getting spammed." <- his words not mine. I do feel you should have given those people notice either way. Also why were you not decentralized but never told anyone?

Honestly I would be inclined to believe you if you had given people more notice of your exit. But typically it is hard to trust people who pull fast ones on loyal members. So I am going to go with Hive account@heimindanger on this one. I wish you guys all the best. Don't shoot the messenger. I only know what I was told.

I have corrected the word sold to gave to exactly quote above more accurately. However I have no clue what was done. Only knew what I read. I do know you ditched thousands of users who built a massive following with no warning. Sorry the truth is not pleasant but 'facts don't care about your feelings'.

Lastly why would you use tons of bots to upvote your own comment if you are so honest and fair? Your trying to make it appear as if people agree with you. It is really lame. If you were being honest and lets say you were for a moment you would not need faux accounts to push what you wrote to make it appear better than my comments. My words aka the truth do not need 'bots' to be validated. Your actions on Steemit are worth more than a thousand of your bots in validating the truth that is written above about you by Hive account@heimindanger. Go pick on someone your own size. I am just a Mom trying to create content. I have never used one bot in my whole life much less ELEVEN of them on one of my own comments. Lame lame lame. Oh wait it has since increased to FIFTY bots. Truth can stand on its own two feet it doesn't require bots. Please quit while your ahead. You are making me loose brain cells.
