Free market,coinbitgold? Where? No markets are ever free. People are not on equal footing,
they don´t  have the same starting positions,the same education,the same start-up capital,etc. Steemit is not good advertisement for the free market. We are seeing insane power concentrations. Isn´t  this what will always happen when you have "freedom" with little or no ethics about social justice and fairness?

Very well said !!!! :)

What is synereo by the way? Never heard of it.

More hurricanes , meaning awesome posts and less shit please 😜 So many people who made thousands start complaining now so obviously it is all about that money. I don't feel the need to expose every step I do and what I think when frustrated but great for everybody who wants to explore new options. Competition has always been healthy to initiate changes for the better. Don't ever  bite the hand what is or was feeding you !

I have faith that Dan will do whatever needs to be done to solve the current problems. That said, I feel that lower priority features are being implemented before the major issues are being addressed, and that is concerning especially during this crucial time and while many feel there is a mass exodus of users from the platform.

I didn't think she did at all. She addressed an ongoing problem her and some others are experiencing that they feel (strongly) that the developers are not doing enough to solve. I'm fairly certain stellabelle likes Steemit, but simply wants the ability to better block users who are threatening, harassing and otherwise being a pain in the ass. 

She's not alone either, but she's likely the one that will get the most attention from the Dev's and at the same time draw the most ire from the user base for saying anything that remotely appears to be a complaint, as evidenced by the comments and post expressing disapproval of her simply expressing disapproval of an issue yet to be solved and expressing how another platform plans to solve that problem. 

I took no offense to her post and was happy to see her express her displeasure with having to continually deal with something many have wanted solved for months. There is a group of Steem users that feel that the Developers aren't doing enough and feel that women are not safe here. That's a big issue, especially when the appearance of a lack of sympathy for their issue is coming from the developers, which they say is not the case, yet no solutions have been implemented that satisfy those being harassed daily.

I think what you read from stellabelle was simply frustration from loving Steemit yet having to be subject to a constant barrage of hate from a minority of Steem users and she has no way to stop it and it's just progressively getting worse. This is further evidenced by the recent outburst by another female Steemian who says they will not be coming back and will tell her following on Facebook that Steem is not safe for women and that basically none of us care. That's not good marketing material right there.

As I mentioned, I am not going anywhere. Steemit has problems that I have been raising for months now. I and a group of women are being ignored, and our safety and peace of mind is being attacked. Only a fool would want Steemit to sink, but I am not going to sugarcoat reality. If people cannot speak their minds, about matters they care deeply about, then this environment will fail. If you cannot accept the problems that are currently going on in reality, I am not sure what I can say about that. I have been trying to get some clear answers for months now. I am at my wits end, and people are leaving Steemit due the issues I raised, way before I raised them.

### Whoever thinks that Steemit made stellabelle is mistaken. 

She had quite a following before coming here and brought that following with her and I'm fairly certain a lot of them will follow her wherever she goes. She will be fine with or without Steemit and Steemit is lucky to have her and should do whatever it takes to keep her around, like solving the issue she and others have with the inability to block users. The "Mute" feature is obviously not working out as planned. It doesn't even block the people you mute from the replies tab on your own page.
