On steem you get throttled by whales. How is speech protected again?

No, on steem no one can silence you. On steem interfaces, like steemit, they can flag you but no whale is stronger than the whole community.
I understand that it is simply a set back or a temporary station. I find many people are stingy with their votes and wont flag whales that abuse their station. The bot wars seem to have subsided but many steemians are irreversibly damaged after such battles for truth in speech.
Steem provides community based self-regulation of speech with no outright censorship. Content is always available on the blockchain but content that the community as a whole (with wide ranging and diverse opinions) deems unacceptable will have less prominence and may not earn rewards.
This is not censorship.
rewards = level of trending
ya your post is still here but no one will see it. Throttled!
100% of rewards ( inflation) should go to investers who power up and dont sell.
Good posts get advertisers, shit posts dont.
So the investers are gone, and the inflation is sold. Steem now .13 cents and dropping.
