Why the internet is hard

Ignorance and hatred are free. They're easy to make. They're easy to spread. They have no barrier of entry. They require nothing from the audience.

Knowledge takes time. It takes work. It requires understanding. It's usually gated behind a paywall, so that the people making it don't die, since they dedicate all their time to it. And can't be spread easily because of this.

This is why I was so excited for the likes of Steemit and Hive.

And yet.

Ignorance and hatred are still easier to spread, easier to make, easier to instill.

Hi! Did you know that steemit.com is now censoring users and posts based on their opinions?
All the posts of these users are gone!
https://github.com/steemit/condenser/commit/3394af78127bdd8d037c2d49983b7b9491397296

Here's a list of some banned users:
'roelandp', 'blocktrades', 'anyx', 'ausbitbank', 'gtg', 'themarkymark', 'lukestokes.mhth', 'netuoso', 'innerhive'
See anyone you recognize? There could be more, they also have a remote IP ban list.

Will you be censored next?
