Only just found this post @davemccoy, but I second what you've said: Asher is basically one of the most valuable — and undervalued — contributors we have on Steemit. I'm not surprised one of his original inspirations is @fulltimegeek... one of our few "original" community oriented whales.
One of the "problems" we seem to have on Steemit is too much short term profit taking... people aren't looking enough at (for example) what delegating 500K SP to someone like Asher for a couple of years could mean as an investment, considering the impact of that much community driven effort on the overall value of Steemit. OK, so you might not be getting your $200 cash a day, but doesn't that pale by comparison to handing over 500K at $1.50 Steem and getting it back at $15.00 Steem?
Sadly, very few people have the scope to think like that.
But kudos to you for highlighting Asher in this post!

@curatorcat ... you have hit the nail on the head... You can tell your human that her cat knows her stuff for sure! That is exactly right and hopefully a few have started to wake up to the issue and attempt to do something to fix it. And they don't have to look far for answers, people give good advice freely here (and cats too) :P
