@stellabelle, please do not tell people what they can and cannot do. I believe that doing bad is bad. And scams are probably bad. But whatever happen to freedom of speech? Where do we draw the line between what is good to write and what is bad to write?

.

Maybe, this post was not the best thing to write if it is in fact a scam or too much of a scam. But a lot of things can be scams, at the same time. Are taxes a scam? Some would say taxes are scams and some would say taxes are not scams. There is a debate there. Personally, I don't like taxes. I don't like scams. 

.

People who come to this post can read in the comments that this AIOS thing is a scam. That is life. That is why we have comments. The comments can disagree with the posts. But is Steemit going to try to become too much like Facebook via too much censorship? I'm asking the question but I know Steemit does not do that. I know Steemit is not Facebook. But I think the question is still important. 

.

This post about AIOS was downvoted and did not get money. It got low ratings. That is basically how Steemit works. The better ideas will probably get more money. This post was probably NOT a better idea and therefore not a financial success like a movie that bombs in the box office, the cinema. That is called supply and demand, AKA Capitalism. And promoting verified scams probably shouldn't be encouraged but they will still be promoted sometimes. But the better ideas will beat the scams in the end. The better things will overcome and prevail eventually. 

.

But trying to purge the world of scams would be the same as trying to get rid of poverty, bad thoughts, murder, death, sickness, cancer, fire, breakups, ice, tornadoes, terrorism, crimes, and many things. We can try to do it but it is still tough and sometimes counterproductive. 

.

Too often people try to be like police. They try to come in and fix and clean up problems afterwards, as in correction. However, a better focus might be in prevention, in education, in training, in helping people make better choices before they go off to do a bad thing, to promote a scam like this AIOS thing, or others, and so on.
