You have people reading you, some of the biggest accounts know you are here, but they only back speech that corporations find agreeable.
I try to support disagreeable speech just so that can't be said about me.
I don't find your speech disagreeable, but you can bet those with the power to give you meaningful rewards do.
Kind of like the way it is for me on HubPages. Other writers there on HubPages prefer that I write a human-interest story as opposed to a controversial one. The problem is that whenever I do post a human-interest story there, I hardly get any views or any clicks on the ads in my articles; whereas whenever I post something controversial there similar to my article above, everyone wants to read it.
For a while, I was posting articles on HubPages about my skepticism over extra-terrestrials. The editorial board there was happy with them. My followers were happy with them. I was happy with them. However, I subsequently started receiving pushback from people who claimed that they had experienced encounters with aliens. An Australian man sent me an e-mail expressing his outrage with me about an article I did about Pine Gap (Australia's answer to Area 51) in his nation, because he insisted that extra-terrestrials were visiting our planet quite frequently. After that, I gave the whole extra-terrestrial-skepticism thing of mine a rest.
A follower of mine on my HubPages channel told me that he didn't like my points of view, but he read my articles anyhow inasmuch as he liked reading about opinions that were opposite to his. At the same time, posting anything controversial on HubPages that is similar to my article above causes me to have to walk a white line, because there is a lot of censorship on that writing platform. Here on Hive, I know that nobody in this writing platform's hierarchy will delete my articles no matter how controversial they are.
LOL! I'm just thankful whenever even one person posts in the comments section of any article of mine. In this event, two people have posted in it.
