Why Reddit Sucks And Why You Should Go Full "Steem" Ahead!

in #steemit8 years ago

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation

of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." - Edward Bernays

In this video

Dan Dicks of Press For Truth explains how reddit's viewership and reach now calls for the need for checks and balances via blockchain technology and Steemit.com is the answer to the current propaganda machine that is spinning out of control.

I still cannot understand why everybody still keeps using reddit... it has been now a year that steemit was introduced...

Do they not know about it, or do they just think they won't get any money? Or that it is a scam or something...

One year is not a long time. Most people don't know about Steemit yet. And who know which other distributed ledger publishing platforms will come out to compete in the future, we shall see. May the best one win the masses!

To be honest I think the Steemit GUI needs some updating but I'm not sure if it is possible to work like Reddit / having subreddits because of patents?

Maxsteemed, and followed Thanks Brother!

For real! 😎

All the others are garbage in comparison and it's just a matter or time for others to see it and come on board.

I follow you everywhere else, but here is where I dig into your content and I here I can at least use my stake to provide something for the awesome work you do.

You know the others aren't doing that and from what I/we can all tell, are trying to do away with independent media and free speech in general.

Steem on @pressfortruth 🐳

I am a strong believer in this steemit community and think that it has the potential to go big, but every other platform will also exist on the internet, my point is steemit cannot cover the whole 100% internet, if steemit can reach to 10% of the internet users then this will be a revolution in making, but this will take some time and we the community members must try to bring more and more people along with good content plus also reward newbies in terms of vpvotes, comments and following as well, good luck to everyone out there @pressfortruth

Another great video with outstanding info for people to hear. Going to become a patron on patreon as soon as the credit card comes in the mail! Thanks Dan please keep it up

I think censorship, down voting and manipulations exists in steemit too and it may even be increasing. I hear people complaining that whales are flagging posts because they disagree with the post or believe that the post should not earn so much. This trend saddens me a lot as I thought Steem promised self censorship and not censorship by a group of whales. If they don't like someone's posts or comments they can just mute him. The flagging system should be removed otherwise we will just be another centralised social media platform where posts, comments and opinions that don't please the rulers will be censored and downvoted.

Good post ! I have dropped them all...pure steemer now...toot toot, keep up the good work Dan!

I stopped posting on FB a long time ago, whenever I posted anything important no one saw it unless it had puppies and kittens in it. This platform is totally cool!

Awesome. I think maybe Block chain technology and Steemit (and/or similar platforms) could be exactly what freedom needs at this point. Steemit for me is pure at this point. It reflects reality, like you said. I just hope there won't be flagging of "wrong" opinions etc.

When money is involved, people think twice about what they read/write! I think that makes a huge difference for us humans on the net that we aren't used to yet, but will change a way of life we've gotten accustomed too since the 90s. "Full Steem Ahead"

I think that as well. The overall quality of the posts will rise!
