RE: I want to give out 4 100% upvotes today!

@theycallmedan, I'm replying to an old post so I don't clutter your live posts with something negative.
I wanted to show you why someone like me (22 month vet) has a distaste for how people are treated here. I made a post that was critical, but constructive. There were also many thoughtful replies that took time to compose and written by people that care. Not only was the post downvoted into oblivion, but also the words of most of the people that replied.
While I could care less about the $1 monetary reward, I do get a "why bother" taste in my mouth when my speech is silenced like this.
I am not asking you to "do" anything because frankly he would just attack all the good things you do. But this kind of activity has gone unchecked for a very long time and we have lost many awesome people that just decided its not worth the time to care about Steemit.
I'm pointing it out in case you don't know, this is a perfect example of suppression of free speech by a bully. And why I rarely post anymore.
Here is the post:
Good luck to you, and if you got this far, thanks for listening!
You’re a fucking crybaby. Your post is still visible for anyone to read.
Censorship? Bullshit. You’re clueless.
omgosh... you follow me here too? Of course you blocked it and it definitely IS censorship. I'm not crying at all since I don't expect you to stop, nor do I expect anything. I just want someone that's relatively new to understand a major reason WHY people are leaving. The only point in 14 points that applied to you was the downvotes (which even you couldn't argue you are a avid user of), but that was enough for you to take it out of view. Plus you wanted to punish many of the people that agreed with it by downvoting them too.
Frankly I don't care about the $1 I'm not going to get now. So I'm far from crying at all... And for the record here's what is seen now when someone looks at it:
That looks like its not visible to me.
Uh, there’s a “show” button. Anyone can see it.
You’re s whiner, nothing more. That’s why your post was flagged. I honestly didn’t even read it all.
lol... that's funny... You and I both know that nobody runs around hitting the "show" button and reading posts that say "This post was hidden due to low ratings." ...
and maybe the fact that you didn't read it all says something powerful...As a large Steem holder yourself, I'd think you'd like to find ways to encourage people to be on the platform. Surely you must see some linkage between the value of Steem and the number of people using it.
And be honest with yourself on why you flagged it (and flagged almost everyone that agreed with the post)... and we both know its not because I'm "whining".
Steem, as a crypto is failing because of the leeches (including Steemit, inc.), not because a few morons (mainly the ones who resteemed you) get flagged.
Let me put it this way, when there were tons of people using the platform and keeping their faith in the future of what Steemit could be, that created demand.
The increase in demand may have been overwhelmed by the "leeches" you refer too taking more than they should have, and thus the fall in value.
So my point is while you may be entirely right that people are leeching off the system, it doesn't help to run people off either. Obviously I would agree with you if there are people "taking" what they shouldn't be. But I would also think you should agree that we should find ways to increase demand in the future too.
If your grand strategy is to run people off so that the place is a ghost town, Steem drops, and that will expose the "leeching"...then I guess it could work. The hard part though would be getting the people back when you've fixed the hole the money was leaking out from. Seems like a lot of work to run people off (and then hope to get em back).
ps... maybe a few of the "morons" might support you if you took the time to explain how they could.
No it is failing because of your bullshit.
I get that you are actually incapable of comprehending that fact. You do have technical, language and unusual gender abilities, but you are seriously lacking in other areas.
Just saying it how it is
At last some honesty !!!
Its great that you recognize that you are king leech.
But its not just that. The fact of the matter is that you got a bit to full of yourself.
Do yourself a favor and cash the fuck out completely. It will save you lots of humiliation
