<p>I know the whole idea behind Steemit is to be a source of unique and valuable posts, standing out from other social networks, and in order to achieve that, the platform rewards you to submit good stuff. It's a good idea and I'm not against that.</p>
<p>The problem comes when some users here become some kind of &quot;blog-police&quot;, even act like judges who dictate which post is &quot;valuable&quot; or not, if they don't like your post you get down voted, and if you don't like it <em>get your ass back to Facebook.</em></p>
<p>Now. When I go to my profile it says clearly (in my case) <strong>toxichan's blog</strong>, it's my blog. Being MY BLOG I can post whatever I want there (am I missing something here?) But let's say it in this way: being YOUR BLOG you can post whatever you want. Yeah I know there are some guys who post pure shit, but I want you to get the whole thing: It's your blog, it's my blog, <strong>we post whatever we want in our blog</strong>.</p>
<p>If I want to post memes, pics or other entertaining/mainstream stuff, I'll just do it. I personally don't care if my posts get enough exposure or money, although it was the main reason why I joined Steemit, I eventually realize it's kind of a lottery to make some good money here. So I just decided to let things take their natural course. If I get money in my way on Steemit, good... if not, it's perfectly fine for me, because I see Steemit like an alternative to other social networks, not as an investment platform waiting for a ROI or something.</p>
<p>In those cases of evident identity theft or spam, I agree every post from those accounts must be widely down voted, but guys, you can't just down vote a post because you simply don't like it or you think it's not good. It's like you want people to please your tastes and post stuff you like only.</p>
<p>I really like Steemit and I want it to last for a long time. But there are many things to be improved and they need to be addressed soon before this get out of control.</p>
