Prior to discovering Steemit I was a righteous social justice warrior and would never have changed what I said online for money.
And for my first year on Steemit as 
But then I got bummed out by a few big unfollows and started walking on broken glass, trying not to offend any more whales.
Last week it dawned on me that my days of massive payouts are over, the whales have moved on, and I might as well say what I really think.
But now I've turned into a skanky whore, and I'm too chickenshit to say negative stuff on my
FUCK IT - HERE ARE TEN THINGS I WOULD HAVE SAID OUT LOUD IF I WASN'T SUCH A SKANKY WHORE. (This is what I really think)
One - Steemit looks to have been set up with CIA input as a social control platform. (So does the entire internet, and most social media websites are - so that is really nothing unusual or new)
Two - EOS appears to be a scam, but half of Steemit are worshipping it. If it's not a scam it's a major threat to Steemit, so either way, why is it being promoted all over Steemit?
Three - Many of the founding members of Steemit are now too burned out to write posts anymore and are just resteeming stuff. Resteeming is a total pain in the arse - yesterday I unfollowed someone for doing 10 resteems in 10 minutes. WTF?

Four - About half the small accounts on Steemit are fake - they are there to create white noise and make Steemit look bigger than it really is. Any account with a rep under 30 is probably not a real account.

Five - all the stuff that needed fixing on Steemit was fully discussed - 18 months ago - the fact that almost nothing ever gets fixed is not an accident - development of the platform is constantly held back. Most of us old timers have given up even talking about it.
Six - Payouts have been slaughtered over the past three months - we had a pretty good reward system, but now we don't. That is probably because of bidbots, but do we still really have any choice about using them anymore?
Seven - That new Steemit sign your life away pop up is not about laws, it's more about censorship and spying. Yes I ticked the boxes to get back in, but I read it and was fucked off. I don't agree, but I don't really have a choice. What a load of bullshit. Is Steemit trying to be the next fakebook?
Eight - there are several big fake Steemit accounts - production teams backed by whales - that are totally raping the reward pool. Nobody can name them publicly, but if anyone is not aware of that, they probably think alex jones isn't a zionist shill...
Nine - negative posts like this don't pay, so it's more profitable to do ra ra cryptocurrency will change the world posts. It is certainly possible to make money from cryptos, and I have done so, but take due care - there are scams going on at all levels, and Bitcoin is now just a pile of dogshit - it will never "go to the moon". Nobody has ever been to the moon, but a lot of Americans still believe in that crap. At the end of the day the bullion in your own hand is the only money you really own.
Ten - Actual reading of posts is declining by the day - there used to be a counter that kept track of how many views each post got. But posts were starting to get 10 views and 100 upvotes. Then the counter was removed. Lame excuses were made.
