in the public

@angeryer nothing is perfect but the network isn't shady. You could have talked to the witnesses at the witness forum this morning.

Steemit / steem has cons for sure

For example delegated proof of stake means voting is weighted upon those with higher usd value. this causes bid bots to be economical. and thus promotional upvotes are sold

he goes over some issues at launch that made it seem shady, but they have fixed a lot of the past problems

but YOutube also sells for the feed dont they?

that's what I meant, not implying it's currently shady

we can see with transparency who bought who sold

there is shady elements like the bots i mentioned

but, its transparent you can eveyone who has paid for bots

steembottracker is the tool to see that data

@angeryer you are correct about launch too, steem is not distributed well currently . steemit inc has 70% of steem

so yes problems exist. Did i say go all in investing ? no. probably be wise to wait till steemit inc distrubution is lower

but the system works extremely well as from a creators / dev perspective

and the truth about dtube is they totally robbed the commuity, took 25% of everyones video earnings. and pretty much fucked off without maintaining shit.

so like i said, probably best to hold back and watch. it will evolve and legit sites will come about, get a track record of not being crappy

so tim is right about the spotty ness. but the blog side of things never went through this. it's only gotten better. steemit.com and busy.org

How's bitchute?

I really liked vidme, too bad it's gone

someone bought a kittyface shirt

$$$$

Cute

Is the Knife still trustworthy? I heard rumours about them being owned by a cult

By "the knife" I mean the news website

i think the knife is a fine source because you can fact check them and see its legit

but they are associated with NXIVM

@Deleted User i like bitchute but not sure the $$ side of it.. minds.com is interesting but they chose ERC20 . i just hate ERC20...

plus minds tokens are still worth zilch

bitchute uses torrents for backend. i do love torrents.

id say i like bitchute more if they have $$

tim can you get some mousepads or something OTHER than a mug/shirt through that?

29% critics, 91% audience.

aslo recommend if you haven't seen it, I might be late to the game here...

The only bias I've noticed out of The Knife Media is the standard reporter bias in what they choose to report on and what they choose to ignore

But that bias is literally unavoidable unless you have the ability to report on literally everything

yeah I mean if something is true, doesn't matter who says it or what their reason is for it
