As some of you know I went over to the Weku platform, Yes, another copy of Steemit, I thought that it would be good to post on two platforms and be able to make blogging on these platforms worth the time it takes to make posts. There are a few others that are Steemit clones also but I figured Weku was just started and it would be better to start there.
I got into the Busters group and thought I was helping out. I was so wrong. I was helping the powers that be on that platform make it centralized, Yet they claimed to be a decentralized platform. There was no real communication from the team that was running the platform at all. Even though the Busters had a meeting with Eric and Kevin every Wednesday. It was all up to one person to make posts to put out the information and because she was not a native English speaking person some others and myself would proof the posts that she wrote before they were published. That person was Siamcat, she got a position on the team through the busters hard work and she basically took all the credit for the work we did by getting that position on the team.
They had a great developer working with the team and it was so bad that he resigned his position. The team said they wanted it to be better than Steemit and they got that so wrong. The busters are just a giant voting circle just like Steemit and most of the whales were doing on Steemit. Look at the trending page and you will see that voting circle clear as day.
Not all of them are in the circle on the trending page but 99% of them are. For me that was a lesson learned, the grass is not greener on the other side.
The team on Weku controls everything even the market where you sell your weku at, from what I understand, if they do not approve it you will make no money from the platform. They can take your account at any time they want too and you will be left with nothing. I may be shooting myself in the foot by posting this as I am powering down and going to move my weku to BitShares and buy Steem with it to power up here. I consider it a lesson learned and I know Steemit is not a perfect platform but at least it is decentralized and you have the freedom to post what you want on this platform. Just a few words of warning and you can do as you please but I would stay away from Weku if you want to be free to post as you please and not be under the control of one group of people. I and a few others have tried to warn people but it has fallen on deaf ears. The users that are in the circle are doing great there and if you want to kiss their butts and do as your told you will do good there, that is not for me though. You have been warned!
