We dont bow to them, we use them.

Alternative is to pay from your pocket with more inflation.

This is just one way of accessing Steem. There are other clients out there. But also, don't forget that Steem itself is not managing the advertising, it's Google, and the only power that Google has over the site is removing the ads - they can't alter the content of Steem.

Totally right, especially the last thing you said: Neither advertisers nor Google as middleman can alter the content. Technically only Google could, but neither can they legally do that nor do they intend to.

I agree. We don't want Google censoring Steemit. However, using Google to pay Steemit seems good.

OK, fair enough then I suppose

Move to busy or some other front end. Steemit isn't your only option. Benefit of decentralization.

hi @screwballpsyche

ads will bring businesses. without them price of STEEM will only be slowly dying and with price will die traffic

I just worry that ads will have too much influence over what is allowed, the same way it has crushed the horror community on Youtube after the adpocalypse

Appreciate your kind comment @screwballpsyche

That's real challenge.
