I begin with a disclaimer: I do not mean to denounce the exclusivity of the elite of authors, investors, donors and whale in steemit. As a newcomer to steemit and blockchain. Until now I have not found all the knowledge about the new culture embedded as a distinctive platform. But I believe that the decentralization prevailing in steemit has given me enough freedom of expression as I had hoped.
I'm just surprised at the elite in this steemit who likes to act arbitrarily and everything is practiced openly and real. Call those whom I accuse of being community leaders with their loyal followers. In the steemit they place themselves exclusively for their own bureaucratic circle. Even when the steemians were gifted but newcomers fought desperately to maintain their existence in the last row far from the point of attention of the elite.
While at the top of the ivory palace where the elite lived, they regarded themselves as the greatest king who was waiting for the puja and clown praise. These executives became increasingly exclusive. They are increasingly "pretentious" with the authority that has been delegated to them. Their decisions are the king's royalty which must be obeyed, heard and licked.
The impact is the emergence of symptoms of social dynamics stagnancy in steemit. The culture of digital literacy that is being intensified in steemit slowly but surely soon becomes stiff due to the above facts. Steemians of the safe seekers defend themselves in their comfort zone. They try to be polite, avoiding the slightest social friction that can cause the destruction of their relationship with the elite.
The egalitarians are the side of the coin in the same money. Their principles of equality and openness make them lose ethics in behaving. This inability can sometimes turn into a spark of conflict in an instant, and this has happened before. The petty egalitarians can not be expected to bring change. They are not agents of change.
Here a new kind of feudalism is slowly showing its face in front of us. That's the case on the steemit platform we love today. Feudalism here is the abuse of power delegation structures run by the elites setemit. The elite claimed the entire territory of the community originally developed autonomously by the steemians under them. Feudalism from various eras has slowed down the dynamics of social development. Including neo-feudalism in steemit.
Is this what you has been talking about decentralized blockchain all along? To me this is not decentralization. You abuse your authority to build crypto feudalism!
