Racism devalues steem; the fact that this platform is crawling with too many people affiliated with hate groups; who openly downvote non-white authors and content creators means this platform won't be able to hold up; as other groups of people continue to fall into this space, which used to be mostly white; better ideas will be introduced.
All these platforms steem has can be replicated - and a better way of rewarding people for their content (better than Voting, which is 100% Bias driven) - will emerge;
but for now, Steem is 'too much' like Twitter, or Facebook, in that a person can be Flagged for violating terms that they have not violated; and Judged by an Algorithm that isn't intelligent enough to realize when a user has not actually violated terms; but is just being flagged by a bunch of 'trolls' using the platform.
Hell I'd love for steem to be worth $8,000 or more some day; but, racism (The evil virus that it is) is bound to kill this currency, the same way racism corrodes corrupts and destroys everything else that it touches.
