RE: All Dissenting Voices Being Crushed By Facebook & Others: WEB EXCLUSIVE
Google don't need to create a new search engine for China. They just simple need to tweak the existing censorship (search) engine, which already memory holes countless websites and much "problematic" information. Unfortunately, since other search engine rely on customized feeds from Google, the results there also go missing.
Steemit has it's problems (bots, spam, whale wars and sometimes flakey Dtube), but it a platform with great upside. I think that sometimes new users who join simply look at the "Hot", "Trending" and "Promoted" feeds, not find familiar faces or substandard content and wonder what on earth they are doing here.
Many months ago, with assistance from a few other Steemit members, I put together an Index of interesting content providers (Yes @leecamp made it to the list in Part 3 ). I thought it might be a useful resource to help new and existing users find some familiar faces, and personalities and content providers that they didn't know were on the platform. I'm in the process of putting together Mk 2 of the index, and would love to hear of any new additions to the list via this thread
