It's come into the limelight that we as a community have a number of large stake weight individuals who frankly, for lack of a better term, do not give half of a flying fuck about the future of the STEEM community and their actions clearly show that.

While many of these users initially came off as people who were here in order to help build up the community their actions and inability to think beyond anything but their own financial gain, which seems to point towards the fact that we've got some some full blown sociopath or psychopath individuals in our midst in positions where they can use their STEEM stake in order to take advantage of the current model of the blockchain.

The System Needs to Change

Sadly the way things are set up now we've very little ability or recourse in order to either correct these individuals actions or block their attempts to gain financially from what can only be described as antisocial or anti STEEM community actions.

One of the worst parts about this that these individuals seem to collude with eachother in order to undermine or counter any attempt by the community to correct the plethora of anti-community behavior, which include running witnesses while supplying little or no value to the community, automated message posting while using their STEEM stake to self upvote in order to procure payments from the reward pool and blatantly denouncing Steemit Inc development releases.

Not only do these people go out of their way to make moves and actions that only do harm to the community while taking value from it they also seem to have absolutely zero conscience in regards to profiting at the expense of our STEEM community as well as it's morale, public image and market cap. As someone who has invested nearly 3 years of their life into trying to ensure that STEEM and it's community flourishes it pisses me the fuck off to see these sociopaths essentially getting away with what can only be described as cold calculated advantage taking of STEEM.

This is NOT a Cry for "Crab Bucket"

These people are going to continue to profit off of this community, essentially taking value from others efforts on the blockchain while supplying nothing of value themselves until significant changes are made to block their anti-community actions. If changes at a blockchain level are needed to combat bad actors within our ranks in order to prevent them from leeching the value of STEEM and it's community to lesser and lesser levels I completely support this. Absolutely sick and fucking tired of watching certain individuals take profits from the rest of the community while shitting on the underlying technology and the people behind it.

Call to Arms for Large Stakeholders

Not going to name names, not going to single people out.. You know damn well who you are and frankly when it comes down to it the system itself allows for this type of behavior.. Which isn't a reason to exploit the system for profit, normal people wouldn't go out of their way to take profit at expense of others like a sociopath.

We need the non-corrupt large stake holders to keep their eyes open and look out for users acting like sociopathic pieces of shit and not only take actions against them taking advantage of the community but also to speak up and be a voice heard in order to push development of our community in a direction that will in the future be able to quell bad actors who have zero interest in the success of STEEM and our community. If we allow this to happen it will continue to happen, which undermines all of us who don't take advantage of situations for own personal gains.

In closing, we need to stand up against large stake sociopaths as a community and come up with a way to stop folks who have taken it upon themselves to take value from all of us. This is not a victimless crime, it affects all honest STEEM users.

Thank you for reading, hopefully we can stop this shit together
