The popularity of the group is worrisome to me because:

1. It entices people to join because it will help you get up votes, leading to lower quality posts getting up voted rather than the free market approach. Simply because "you are part of the group"
   

2. The group has the potential to overrun steemit and control all content. If that happens we will end up with a steemit that resembles facebook. Political views of a small group of moderators would take the front seat and could be influenced by governments and corporations.

3. Already socialist views are being favored because "filth" and "hate speech" are both subjective. Parents are responsible for the raising of their own children. If the free market ends up adding too much so called "hate speech and filth" to steemit, it would be the parents of the children who should decide if steemit.com is an appropriate site for their children to be on

4. Not everyone on steemit is a socialist, progressive, or liberal. Many of us are anarchists just like the creators of steemit. You guys are turning steemit into a facebook. The very thing many of us ran away from.
