Never thought I would do this to Steemit!

"Advertising has come to Steemit"



I am not against all advertising, but I am against any that threatens the existence of Steemit as we know it today.

There are advertisers who are not supporters of the globalist left and thus would not seek to censor what we post. Yet, the admin here have chosen the worst of all companies to sell us to - Google.

You have noticed that they have recently decided to reward flaggers? They claim they want to stop the spammers!! Well, what the f* are advertisers?


They are anti free speech; anti Christian (actually, anti all religions except for islam); anti family and Corporate Marxists - and we are desperate to throw ourselves at their feet in the hopes of them throwing us a few dollars? The serf mentality has come to Steemit?

Sorry, it has not really - it just exists among our Witnesses and others who are in control, because they are not satisfied with their wealth and if screwing us means they make some extra dollars .... well, after what they have done, you no longer have to wonder whether they would - do you?


So, what have I done? What should YOU do?


I experimented and installed two (2) anti Ad programs (addon apps) and this is the worst of it: I have moved Steemit from the White List, to the Black List.

It has slowed my surfing a bit, but...it was well worth it! I no longer have to watch those sh*t ads that intrude at the top and within the page...as google does everywhere else - and now here. When I read your posts and the comments made, I do not get interrupted by those sh*t ads, I am free to concentrate on what you say. Isn't that the way it was meant to be?

Ghostery is the one - as for the other proggie, you experiment which works for you - we do not want to make it too easy for them to counter our strike for independence, do we?



--- I never thought I would do this to Steemit? The truth is, I am doing it FOR Steemit ---

BTW - If you are an islamist - WAKE UP. The globalists are only using you, they do not intend allowing you to take over - and they have the really big guns that will shatter you once you have done their dirty work for them. Stand up from now for your rights, alongside the rest of the world. (What are their really big guns? Food. They control it - and until you stop relying on them for everything, from rice to wheat, to corn and so on, you are vulnerable, whatever weapons you have. After all, all they have to do is not plant and you'll soon be using your weapons against each other so as to eat.)


BLOCK THEM
BAN THEM

Also, check on the witnesses you voted for. Are they part of this, did they approve it? Then cancel your votes! Now, while there still is a Steemit worth saving.





*** Okay...now watch me get flagged to death - if it happens, it will be worth it...and since the blockchain immortalises what we post, it means this attack on their characters and mores will last for their entire lives. Heck, even their kids can see it 20 years from now. ***

Dear @arthur.grafo

Yet, the admin here have chosen the worst of all companies to sell us to - Google.

What do you mean? Ned sold Steemit to Google? Did I understand you well?

I no longer have to watch those sh*t ads that intrude at the top and within the page..

That's a bit strange. I realized that I can only see ads if I didnt sign in on steemit. Did you see them all the time?

Cheers,
Piotr

I do not think this has anything to do with Ned. I saw a post (I cannot remember whose) where a number of Witnesses discussed Rewarding Flagging, so that it no longer costs anything to flag. Within days they agreed and went ahead. I made a note of those Witnesses and those I had voted for, I removed my vote. Since not many others did anything, I did not make a difference...but at least I know I am not supporting them.

Then I saw Witnesses discuss advertising. Now I see advertising. As I mentioned in my rant above, I would not object to some advertising, though I would not like to see sex advertisements, but only if it is at the top or the bottom of the page. I did not like seeing advertisements in between replies on my Reply page, but it made me suspicious, since that is exactly what google does.

I am not strongly protesting the fact of advertising, what I am arguing is that Steemit is one of the very few censor-free platforms on the web. By them selling advertising rights to google, what do you think will happen soon? Once they are spending a larger amount and we (Steem) has come to depend on that money and fear the withdrawal of their advertising as it would crash the value of Steem, then they tell us that their advertisers dislike this or that post or poster and they might have to withdraw.

Just the possibility means that Steem tumbles, admin panics (it is mostly THEIR money which is crashing, since they have very large SP balances and daily incomes in a number of their accounts), so...they say they cannot censor us? If your Rep is flagged to -1 who will look at your posts? Second, they can close your account - and that is exactly what google (their so-called advertisers) will want.

Next important point. I assume a number of posters are using anti-tracking when they are on Steemit? It would be foolish to do otherwise. Now, despite my precautions, google know about me and have a record of all I say or do here. To prevent that happening, I have never had an account with FB, twit, and so on and do not use google where it means I have to register (like in YT and their email accounts), while also never doing searches though their search (spy) biased engine. I hope you will not tell me you do not use DuckDuckGo or StartPage HTTPS for your searching?

There are many companies who do not ban conservatives and non-communists and their money is just as good. But Steem had to choose to partner with the worst of those who are against those of us who love their country, their kids and are not communists? In other words, are not Corporate Marxists / Socialists / Globalists.

I very much appreciate your comment @arthur.grafo

Thank you for your time and effort. Amazing reply.

I am arguing is that Steemit is one of the very few censor-free platforms on the web

It's censor-free only because it's very small. All small media can go easily "under the radar" of authorities. Once Steemit will grow - things will change.

STEEM as a blockchain can be still censor-free but it won't matter.

I hope you will not tell me you do not use DuckDuckGo or StartPage HTTPS for your searching?

No I don't. I'm one of those cluecless people who accepted the fact that I cannot protect myself if things will go wrong. Plus I'm not really using google at all. I'm spending 90% of my time on Steemit and I dont have time for anything else any more lol :)

What are those Duckducks for? :)

Yours, Piotr

I have set my browser to do my searches using :

https://startpage.com

I used to use DuckDuckGo, but I now prefer StartPage (I noticed that although they are supposed to be protecting me so that the sites I visit or the searches I do, are not known to be mine, I find most of the suggestions are centered on South African sites...which means they are not hiding me.

Odd, I had somehow gained the impression you spend quite a bit of your time on Crypto Currencies and new start ups.

Dear @arthur.grafo

Odd, I had somehow gained the impression you spend quite a bit of your time on Crypto Currencies and new start ups.

I do like those topics and I'm quite passionate about all that tech. But I'm myself not very tech savvy.

My strength is knowing how to reach out to people and build their trust. I'm good with social media marketing and I'm simply using my knowledge to help others grow here.

I believe that there are many smarter people out there and many with enormous resources and getting to know them may bring some business opportunities in the future.

hope it makes sense :)

Thx again for your awesome comment
Piotr
