No you dont. If you did the initial softfork limiting justins stake, which he paid for with his money, would have horrified you. Obviously you're one of the people who think poorly of Justin due to misinformation or whatever it is. Trons blockchain is amazing, the BitTorrent speed and btfs aditions to the BitTorrent technology is ground breaking and can alter the way data moves forever, Justin is 29, his home town is currently ground zero for the current pandemic, he's distrought and runs 4 or 5 different businesses including steemit inc, his first nitron event's Keynote speaker was Kobe Bryant who unfortunately passed recently, which caused Justin alot of sadness as he was building a business relationship with him and admired him greatly, and all on the eve of the second nitron which was then postponed due to this virus, he was one of the very first businesses offering aid and masks during the initial news of the outbreak. Steemians have zero idea what the tron community has been through alongside Justin, thats not your fault, but weve been ostracized and not given any opportunity to share the deep connections weve made in tron. Sorry man but you have this all backwards. The witnesses only cared about the money and keeping control. Justin wants to be the guy who makes blockchain the most important tech in the world. Watch his interview with fud tv. Its a great start to see who your mad at. He isnt dan, he isnt ned. Hes a motivated young entrepreneur who happens to be going through alot, including racism, hate, fear for his home community, the loss of an idol, the overall fud this one guy has to wade through would be enough to make me wanna jump from the tallest place i could find and he gets up everyday and goes back to work trying to fulfill his dream and vision.
You are right. I never cared about Steem. I cared about having a blogging platform that unlike Medium would guarantee that my stuff is available to all even when stuff turns evil. I cared about a blockchain that is actually useful and fast. I worried like anyone else at that time about the huge influence of Steemit Inc, but that was what we had so we made the best of it. The fork was not if but when. Only the Hive project really gave me confidence that we can actually do much more. Steemit is a blogging platform, and because of the censorship now a bad one. Hive is a community and a birthplace of inventions. Hive is what the long time community always wanted Steem to be, and we are not fully there yet, but for the first time ever I am pretty confident we will get there.
You are not the first person I say this too, unfortunately: I really hope Steemit as it runs now will be what you expect it to be. But I have seen a similar situation before: OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Study that case and make your decision. If this place ever doesn't turn out to be what you expect from it, that's okay, you know where you can go. We are one community, and we hate to leave people behind.
Some would argue that we're switching to Hive because we care about Steem. At least, Steem's initial intention, which seems to be lost now.
HIVE IS ALIVE!!!
JOIN US, YOU'LL HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME BALANCE AS YOU HAVE HERE ON STEEM WITHOUT THE CENTRALIZATION AND CENSORSHIP!!

we care about the blockchain technology first

I cared.
If you have any clue what made Steem what it is, supporting a centralized and censorship-positive blockchain makes no sense.
Now Steemit can actually become "Facebook 2.0" without decentralization and freedom.
