Advertisers are not giving them incentives. Most platforms are bound by fiduciary duties, which more often than not means the boardroom requires maximization strategy.

Twitter for example, particularly Jack, has stood up longest for freedom of speech. Pretty much until he couldn’t else anymore. He is after all an advisor of Stellar too.

I’m not saying these platforms aren’t wrong. I, with a steem related account — an account which had been in good standing for many years and was just restarted contentwise — have also been banned from Twitter. Overzealous mods enjoy the power, too often sadly enough.

But being publicly traded companies they are sort of obliged to. We first would have to change the focus and expectations of shareholders from maximizing to building the future.

Which would be ironic considering all the manipulation happening in this part of the internet we participate to.

A reputation system built on slightly more sophistication than Steem has now would be brilliant.

There’s one thing rather funny in the story of the account this post was contextually created on: it always happens to the same people. Funnily enough, that exact person is one of the biggest “oligarchs” in the world of crypto.
