When you place too many restrictions on a platform, it just causes people to lose interest and eventually find something else

one of the only things holding steemit together is the fact that you can make money on this platform

if people arent allowed to like what they like, upvote themselves as much as they like ( something thats built into the code ), or are told when and how to do something on the network, all thats going to happen is someone else will make a new platform, where people can do these things, and eventually people on steemit... will no longer be on steemit

the only reason we have such a huge number of people who sign up everyday on here is because someone else told them in a forum that they could make money

if reddit or instagram started giving people money for posting content steemit would be a deserted waste land in a week
