Bravo Hive account@kevincox, well thought out post. It's indeed a massive improvement from GAFA - The original Sin of internet. A brillant article from Coindesk about how bad things are, and in my opinion has drastically improved.

I started out here with nothing, I am just happy I have SP worth $25 dollars at the moment, that's three times more in my native currency of PGK. So I am not complaining at all.

The fact that the masses haven't got on board the steem bandwagon, is all the more reason that makes me smile. As when the tides come, we will all be winners.

And off course, pressure from the masses will eventually resolve abuse over time. A fork will have become imminent by then. And we make more dough. :)
