RE: THE SNAKE OIL CONTROVERSY: My Take
Have you ever tried this product?
No, I'm not mental. Are you? I'm clearly stating that it's a scam and you are asking me if I tried it. It's the most ridiculously stupid thing I've ever saw here.
and by the countless people who have been helped by this product, was also scammed?
Yes. It can't help anyone because it's bullshit. Not even real bull's shit which can be useful. It's just scammy pile of dirt.
Even flat-earthers are better than you, because they are not selling their bullshit to people in need.
So, You don't think adults should be able to purchase and ingest whatever they choose?
I'm not going to purchase his product, but I support adults making adult decisions.
As people can sell stuff they want, people are equally free to talk against people, companies and products.
If I'm saying someone is a scammer, their products are bullshit and only mentally handicapped people buy it - I'm not saying people don't have a freedom to make their own decision.
I have my freedom to comment on the product.
Giving people freedom to choose doesn't mean we shouldn't express negative opinions on something.
That's a good point! And in turn, I guess I also reacted.
But I hear you. Well said.
Are you in favor of having the black market up-and-running on Steemit, @whatsup?
Would you have this same mindset if people started auctioning off child-porn and human kidneys, sitting on Steemit at the number one spot on trending?
I won't answer for you, but, IMO, the line has to be drawn somewhere, or else you create the potential for some of the ugliest sides of humanity to start growing and, potentially, over-running the community.
To be clear, I think scamming people using bogus health products/ claims is near the lowest of low that a human can reach and I don't particularly like the idea of having Steemit's trending page being dominated by this trash.
For me the freedom to buy and sell is about adults.
The problem with Child Porn and Kidney's is that someone is directly injured.
I don't care if people smoke pot, do hard drugs or experiment with unproven products based on personal experience. I am for adults being adults.
I get the concern about the trending page, and I was really excited to see people use their voting power to express how they feel about this!
So, I completely approve of the flagging as well as the upvotes! That is how the site works and when people start flagging the site will function much better in my opinion. I am happy the conversation broke out.
I see. We're not in disagreement, then.
That doesn't follow from Decentral's comment.
U can make some yourself, for no money and witness it yourself instead of bashing it.. i just made some for the very first time and i'm now very intrigeud by the fact that i saw it dissapeare.....
You mean pile of dirt? Seems like you don't even know what this scammer was trying to sell before he edited it out.
