I think steemit is a great example on how money corrupts our minds. People suck up to the big guys or are being dishonest to get rewarded. Just like in real life. That's not going to change. Ever. I'd say it depends how you use steemit. I have found quite a few people who are not in it for the money but to connect with others, that's good enough for me. As a truther platform I find it pretty useless. You are either preaching to a (very small choir) or get no attention at all. But since it is currently not being censored on a large scale, it's a good place to vent :)
Thanks for your comment @herrleeb . I came here because I was excited about a decentralised 'social media' platform because I was sick of the censorship and bans that the likes of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube were dishing out. You're right. From a truthers perspective, Steemit is useless. There are better places to vent and be heard like Gab or even Reddit! Though Gab can sometimes resemble an echo chamber and echo chambers achieve nothing.
Agreed. But it also looks like as if you either have to be in an echo chamber or you will get attacked viciously. We are already so polarized, that discussion and exchange of ideas becomes almost impossible.
I for one have stopped commenting on posts I disagree with. You cannot convince anyone anymore. We live in a post fact society, opinion matters. If you disagree, you are a shill, a troll, a racist, an idiot or an antis****e. Certain subjects are better not discussed on steemit as well, if you don't want trouble :)
