Greed

Self interest and Greed are taking over Steemit.
What i can say is there is also a few really selfless, awesome people here, who are doing so much everyday to make Steemit a better environment.

I have to be careful what i say due to the flag abuse system, and those who are corrupting the platform the most, are in a position to wipe me out.

Trolling for upvotes and followers, through comments is a cancer that is spreading. Even subtle methods like tagging and asking people to read their posts, can usually be seen as the same as asking for upvotes.

Steemit has the potential to be the best social media site on the internet, but needs a wider variety of content providers and less downvoting by people who want to keep it in the image they prefer.

I am keen to improve the platform and have put forward suggestions, for our favorite authors to be grouped and prioritized in our feeds, and for search to be improved, and a Steemit exchange to protect people from problems. I have other ideas too, and have shared some of them, unfortunately my followers are not the people who could make them into reality.

It would be great if i could speak clearly about the reasons Steem is 17th most popular Crypto and why it is valued at such a low price. Perhaps it is better to say what a great buying opportunity has been created, and that we should all power up as much as possible right now.

Multiple accounts have to be limited, as this leads to disputed amounts of users on Steemit, and other problems with hiding who is making massive withdrawals and self voting.

Thanks very much, to the awesome whales who are doing a great job with curation and sending out upvotes, your efforts are always noticed.

Think about how precious this platform is and how poor the alternatives are, lets all do our best to improve Steemit and make this the best social media site on the internet.

I read a post from a popular Steemian, who suggest padding your posts with lots of words, simply to attract larger rewards, and it certainly works for him. Wouldn't it be better for us all, if we got our point across as concisely as possible?

Thanks for reading my post and i wish i could have pointed out specifically the real culprits and exact problems, as i see it.

Rock on.
