Hehe. It is a circle jerk for sure although i wouldnt say its as sinister as folks making shady DM discord deals.
Its more about them not giving a damn.
Its all about power struggles, who said what, why, being important in the face of drama, being a mediator, having a strong opinion on issue brought up by influential people, etc....
I mean even took that path and tried to "mediate" and that got me upvotes that amounted to what i generally earn in a month. But i started feeling dirty doing it, so i stopped.
Something that was supposed to be a social media, community empowerment platform is turning into a power grabbing, brown nosing, ass-kissing, drama fueling, greed driven, shameless, prostituting platform where the only thing that matters is who is on your side and how much SP does that person have.
Sounds about right. Steem, something to do while on the 🚽 toilet. Truly pipe dreams. The hostility is palpable as evident on posts like this where the net is cast far and wide.. Which is amusing because nets and whales in the real world aren't a thing but there's some monsters tangled up here. Its kinda the worst of the worst of the internet and that's definitely entertaining..
