This is not financial advice (I might be wrong and I don't want people blaming me for their actions if I am wrong) this is just what I believe.
When I started on Steemit I left my Steem in my account for months and then I drawn it out as fast as I could? Why?
I always said if Steemit wants to take over facebook, twitter or even reddit it has to offer REAL non censorship and manipulation, it does not offer anything of the kind.
Steemit is censored and a fucking farce, its BULLSHIT.
Trending posts are always the same people and Whales run and control it.
I would actually even go as far to say Steemit is not just censored its SUPER CENSORED!
Censorship is not necessarily removing posts, blogs or links but making them hard to find, burying them underneath "better posts" from Steemit Whales and first accounts.
I have proven (at least to myself) that quality of posts does not matter on Steemit, how have I proven this? Reposting.
A few months ago Steemit seemed to stop working (at least my account did) much to my frustration my posts were completely ignored (even by my followers!)
Then everything changed suddenly EVERY post I made was getting lots of upvotes, but it didn't feel real and my earnings stayed low. I believe these "upvotes" were fake, bots or something. I believe I could have posted a link of me burping the alphabet and I would have received "upvotes."
Over the last few days their has been another dramatic shift on my Steemit account, nobody upvotes me again, I guess the upvotes bots have thought fuck him he is shit.
Steemit is a scam. And it will NEVER reach its full potential because its FOOOKING shit censorship, flagging system and bot problem.
