Your post got 308 and hers 481.
The unfairness here in steemit is not only an issue of big authors vs minnows,
its more complex than that
there are thousands of people making nothing for their productive posts here(Im not saying Im one of them, I can see how people could judge my posts are not productive),
while people like Laura abuse the politically correct system.
Please tell me your opinion about this issue, I would really like to hear it.
There is no question that Steemit is a blog site controlled by the elite who own it. It is a free market so they are free to be as unfair as they want and we are free to leave or stay. If a car dealership or were acting like Steemit acts, people would burn it down. It's that unfair. But I see the unfairness and comedic and laughable and just roll with it.
