RE: I thought Steem blockchain represented freedom and anarchy? I guess I was wrong.

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I have been a witness to flags you've claimed to have flown for reasons you stated were based on dislike for a person or their opinion, few I specifically recall other than noting it happened. Perhaps @drugwars might jog your memory.

Not that I actually care a great deal, and I don't keep a ledger FFS. My actual issue with your impact on Steem is that you run a bidbot, and the reason it matters to me is because is devalues humanity, equating humanity to mere devices. No matter how that is done, for what reasons it is done, that fundamental degradation cannot be mitigated, and going forward I believe that degradation will prove, if it has not already, to be of existential import.

It's easy to point and laugh at that philosophical line in the sand, and say 'it's just about some money', but the fact is that technology advances, and machines have already been granted citizenship. Slopes are slippery, and that's a fact.

Society is people, and applying rights to machines or devices is a step onto that slope.

Please stop.

I never flagged anyone because of drug wars. Get your facts straight.

Steemd holds the facts. If you actually care to prove this, you can. I don't care enough. It's not really my beef with you, as that is profiteering, to which flagging is currently tangential, and I do not deny you have flown many flags appropriately. Good on ya for that, btw.

However, I had a look on steemd recently, and note that Bernie and his horde have flagged more than @steemcleaners, or anyone else. Given how he flies flags, this does not bode well for the survival of the ecosystem after HF21. You seem to be averse to opinion flagging. Great.

That won't keep your bot financially rewarding when Bernie flags away all the newbs after the downvote pool grants him 25% more flags for free. Foundations are the key to structural integrity, and you have founded your presence on Steem on profiteering. When profiteering is no longer financially rewarding your presence on Steem will be affected.

I await your response to forthcoming events with some interest, as I seek to learn how things work, and Steem is an interesting experiment producing interesting results. I've never watched profiteering destroy an investment vehicle from the inside before, so expect interesting educational opportunities to result.
