we are not allowed in on the decision making process. we can't reverse the decisions made. here we can, if enough people, enough powerful people decide to promote something, there is no asking permission.
please youtube, please, let me do what i want.
bah!!
i am aware of youtube dropping subscribers, failing to report new videos to subscribers, and other dirty tactics to curb traffic to select individuals.
this is something that would be harder to hide here. people could at least take notice, ask questions, and investigate the real time squelching of information that may or may not be going on...
but with youtube.. we just don't know, it is just gone.
Things may be slightly more transparent here to someone who actually pays attention to SteemDB and all the innerworkings of Steemit, however your average person isn't going to. Also people can ask questions or make suggestions on steemit or youtube but on both places nothing is really going to be done about it
lazy users will be lazy, at least the option is there.
