As I browse the new and trending posts I have seen an increase in the number of disturbing conspiracy theory posts. The majority deal with vaccines and global warming but there are plenty of others. I thought about linking to some of the crazier ones but perhaps we are better-off if they don't get the views or attention the authors crave.
I'm hoping this trend doesn't continue but I also know that it is a tough thing to combat. The idea of Steemit filling up with anti-vaxxers and climate-change deniers who continuously feed off/upvote/resteem each other is unnerving to say the least. I'm well aware of their right to post and let their voice be heard but am I alone here? Has anyone else noticed this? Anyone else concerned?
