Not sure what to think of this myself. This article tried to debunk the medium-article:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@thebeachedwhale/the-ugly-truth-behind-steemit-or-not-debunking-the-myths
To be honest, the debunking hasn't convinced me totally, because it didn't address all points the "ugly truth"-article made. What do you think? Please comment (english or german).
