I agree to a certain point, if you are right we all have the same possibilities because we all have the same tool in front of us and it works exactly the same for everyone.
but regardless of that if it is okay, what I think is being treated here is not exactly that issue but abuse, abuse is not here or anywhere in the world, an example of abuse is developed countries abusing Third World countries that do not have the same possibilities for many reasons (education, economy etc etc) but it would be very long to talk about it here.
the point is that if it is good that we all have a tool that we can squeeze to the maximum and be unlimited for all, but as in all that tool has to have some rules of use some rights and obligations to work the most perfect and as fair as possible for the majority, then what I see is not only the problem that some are abusing the system in a systematic way but the system itself is still failing because if a system does not have ways to abuse the nobody could abuse it .
I think the key here is that steemit has to improve a lot so that it is a practically indestructible system and where no type of cheating can be done.
if we want this to be a social network and a good platform that is useful and benefits everyone in the most just way possible, it would have to have rules and not only rules but a system that is capable of detecting abuse since it is not just about to earn money but to earn it ethically without stealing, we do not want a system that does not have utility and is just a money-making machine because then we end up becoming the corrupt banks that run the world and have no scruples about printing money and robbing people.
In summary:
strengthen the tool
that is useful
that detects abuses alone
that is fair for all
that is a way to earn money in the most ethical way possible to win in abundance all the parties involved and not a place where a few win while the rest only pick up some remains.
