Fair enough. I just can't stand anymore to see grown-ass people judging individuals giving them pros and cons of the whole community. It's not about Steem, Hive, Christianity or any community/group in particular. This is basic life.

By what I see, even tho' I'm not experienced enough in the blockchain sphere, is that Steem is going to hell if it continues like this. I think anyone can see this (downvotes will be gone, power down 3 days, no one to fight plagiarism/spam, censoring, ....).
About HIVE, I dunno. It seems like more decentralized blockchain but also there are witnesses I don't agree with and I don't hope they will change their ways.

I just hope the community will prevail, not some individual or small group of individuals.

Time will tell...
