RE: The Dangers of Releasing a Product (Steemit) to the Public in Beta - Being compared to Hitler
that guy does look kind of evil...
But then you go on to say you don't support ad hominem behavior?
this is a description of a benevolent dictator
No, this is the description of people trying to run a company. The front-end may be open source, but they still own and are operating a business. We as users are not automatically assigned rights to tell them how to run their company. If we stop enjoying the product, aside from complaining, our only option is to choose another platform.

I don't necessarily want a completely decentralized or leaderless system. Im not saying you in particular do this (i only recently started following you, so i dont know how you think), but in my opinion there are many here who try to defend manifestly bad decisions as "the free market" or the "wisdom of crowds", and who try to hype steemit as something fundamentally new.
That is to say they take a fundamentally centralized, corporate system and wrap it in the flag of decentralization and the free market
The post below is certainly not the only example of this, but its a great one.
