RE: Is Steemit’s Success and Democracy at Risk from Crab Mentality?
I'm actually a DV fan. I have been for some time. Like i said int he comments of his recent post, I think him getting flagged was a good thing,. I think the fact that a popular crypto personality coming on here and having all the right followers and making an absolute shit post, and having that post make no money, is proof that the system works, or at least that it can.
I do think its funny and maybe a little tragic that many people missed the satiric tone of his previous posts (though, ftr, i also think its part of a larger problem) But at the end of the day, the post that actually got flagged was hot garbage and absolutely did not deserve the money it was about to get. Berniesanders' analysis was absolutely spot on.
The crab in the bucket analogy always makes me think of "hateocracy" the episode of the boondocks.
