Yeah, they only allowed themselves and their pals to shit-post, spam, and circle-jerk.

That was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Time will tell.

You will lose the only tool to fight plagiarism, spam and circle-jerking. What is your plan then? Is the plan to let that content be rewarded or there is a plan to stop that?

have you ever heard of A FREE-MARKET ECONOMY???

If you create a "community account" yes, on steemit, like this one, https://steemit.com/created/hive-171744, then you can mute whatever you consider "spam" to your heart's content, without "blacklisting" or otherwise "vandalizing" the "offending" account.

Live and let live, indeed!

!!!

Ok, you mute those guys and they continue to post 10 times a day and circle-jerk each other 10 times a day.

They will make ton of Steem and devalue the token because they will not create any value. + all that happening on centralized platform is a NO-NO for a lot of people. That's one of the biggest reasons we are moving away from FB, Twitter and other centralized platforms.

Again, time will tell... Have fun here

(IFF) you are correct, and this unbridled behavior will drive down the value of steem-tokens (THEN) they're digging their own graves (and they'll soon move on to greener pastures).

I'm just here for the people sharing ideas, I don't give a rip about "making money". I'm perfectly happy to watch THE FREE-MARKET take it's course.

What people do on their own blogs is none-of-my-business, if I don't like it, I can ignore them. If I don't like what they post on MY blog, I can mute them.

I understand but again, it's better to be on the same or better blockchain with more valuable token.

Or perhaps it's "better" to be where "the crazy people" (skeptics/freethinkers/conspiracy-theorists) can "do their own thing".
