Let's be honest high power steemians have been lording over Steemit for such a long time and been censoring posts they don't like. The only difference now is there is a much bigger whale that is giving them a dose of their own medicine. Besides a lot of them have been hostile towards Steemit Inc and you expect them not to use their power to downvote them. Using the same excuse of whales before: you can get downvotes just because a whale does not agree with your content. Another logic of the whales from old steem: if you are more than willing to accept upvotes then you should be willing to take the downvote as well.

I don't agree with what Steemit Inc is doing but I am not surprised they are doing it since a lot those who were downvoted (censored) is practically burning Steemit Inc to the ground.

Who in their right mind would come along and say, "This seems like a great place to build a dApp on?"

Honestly, under Justin and Tron management I think Steem blockchain will be better of. Why? Just look at all the dapps aggregator sites you will see. Tron has Samsung partnership, Opera partnership, DLive, Bittorent and more this Listed in practically in all relevant exchanges and Tron is just 1.5 years old.

How about Steem? 4 years old down. Are users increasing? Is it listed in more exchanges? The only relevant application beyond blogging was steemonsters which reached out to TRON for expansion. Now all of a sudden everything is bad on TRON.

Perhaps under Blocktrades this will all change but I am more inclined to think that the same old Steem will persist on Hive. With the type of behavior, they are showing I won't be surprised that sooner or later they will be at each other's throats for power and control.
