Your pic is why I coined the word Zionazi. None of what you state in this post is factually incorrect, which I have been railing against since I became aware of the EIP proposals.
Fortunately, various and myriad competitors to Steem have arisen, and if our worst fears regarding it are realized, simply moving on will be possible. Zeronet and Blockchan have piqued my interest, because both do not potentiate flagging, are very resistant to censorship by established economic interests, and are intended to be used to speak freely. Neither have a financial component however, so for those interested in that there are also numerous other platforms, from Weku and Somee, to Voice, and maybe Libre.
We'll see what the future holds. It is not the rulers of this world that matter, but what comes after. John of Patmos said that Death comes on a pale horse, and Hell follows after. I am certain that for those who have earned it here, hell of their own device is their reward.
We who have paid for our sins here will be free of their burden in happy days to come.
@bloom is inconsequential to me, but I don't care about money. There are more important things. Seek them, and no flags will take them from you.
RE: In a few minutes, and with Steemit's full approval, @Bloom (Blumenthal? Bloomberg?) will come along & wipe out my posts...
