If politics in the steemiverse is neglected, it will not only tamper with the morale of the existing steemians, it will further discourage new members from joining.

While many are always free to connect offline at meet ups and relate with whales as due, many are busy with their other sphere of life.

Now we make it difficult to many to join the platform, they are like, it's time consuming. They need to take days off from work to attend meet ups etc before they could earn a vote to their well documented and researched posts...

Steemit is almost if not totally abused right now as most persons have thrown away the social media aspect of it turning it into politics.
