RE: 5 Different Types of Steemit Users And Different Visions About The Future of Steemit
Nice one, but there is also one category which you seem to have missed and whom I would call the "sycophants"!
Lately any discussion which point out flaws in the system or just raise an uncomfortable question, has stopped. We had a lot of it earlier and now all debate on controversial topics has died down for fear of offending the whales or being flagged for your opinions.
As we grow, I see opinions getting restricted to what would be non-controversial as because there have been a few who did try, but are quite now as they mostly were flagged to oblivion.
And to top it all, we had a post recently telling us that the company, steemit inc, does not owe us any obligations, so we should shut up and toil on!
Yes I have seen such posts. They are often quite well upvoted by some whales.
I don' think that creating such group as it appears that compulsive sycophancy is a behaviour which can be seen in different groups, specifically of lower caste of steemit users (non whales). Usually it is common for "the beginners". But it can be seen between "the creators", "the observers" and "the leeches".
After all the talk of the block-chain, the new uncensored world and the libertarian outlook we were supposed to have, this compulsive sycophancy is rearing its ugly head faster than I imagined!
