You know what, @whatageek? I agree.

I have a HUGE problem with the way things have gone down in the past four months or so on steemit (esp as it pertains to Steemit Inc and @ned). But ultimately Steem and Steemit are about more than the politics going on within the ecosystem.

You're right.

The solution isn't to leave Steemit, but to continue to put time and effort into it. If it gets big enough the opportunity to leave will appear in the form of competitors.

Ultimately, Steem is such a damn good and strong idea that nearly no amount of incompetence would make it less than worthwhile.

And so, after cooling down some and dealing with a little bit of disillusionment and disappointment as far as Steemit Inc, I'm back.
