I agree with @mickeybeaves Don't be too harsh on this platform for there are many here who don't even know the back story.... even I just know a little about it, albeit enough not to up vote his one post in the last several months. And his most recent post hasn't gained a substantial payout, not even half of what his last post 3 months ago received.... so maybe this is a sign that people have heard you @kafkanarchy84
Anyhow, don't shoot down all of Steem and its ecosystem because of one bad actor or even a few bad actors.
Well, have a good one, hope things get better and stay postive.
Full Steem Ahead!
