Will Steem Survive 2019?

Censorship
Had I not purchased a vote from tipu for my last article @bloom would have "disappeared" it. One would think everyone would be on their best behavior after seeing Steem drop from $6 to 31 cents over the last year. One would think "attract" and "encourage" would be the M.O. of good Steemians everywhere rather than censorship. Last article I spoke scientifically, as a scientist, about the infection rates of vaccines. @bloom was incapable of responding logically to facts such as, "the polio vaccine paralyzes more children than the wild polio virus." All it was capable of doing was hitting flag like the ignorant coward it is.

I have not had to make the decision myself, I don't have babies. I'm not sure what my final decision would be. The point of the article was conversation and open questions, the transfer of ideas and facts. Of course degenerate communists like bloom are incapable of logical debate. The reason they rely on censorship is because their arguments FAIL in a free market of ideas. The basis of their blood lust is force rather than freedom, it is a deep sickness.

Did I mention @bloom is a stalker?

Perhaps its inability to get its pickle wet is the subconscious motivation to wave its flag around?

It was also disturbing to see the steemit front end disappear @thedarkoverlord.

Inflation
I didn't even mention inflation. Has anyone noticed the inflation rate is like 36% a year now? It basically doubled since the last hard fork.

So not only are users censoring others and front ends disappearing accounts, the inflation rate of the coin is spiraling out of control.

Can Steem survive all this?

I'm new to Steem. Can you help me understand how flagging works? Are there any penalties to the author except slight reduction of the profit and reputation?
