steem can only generate so much steem everyday, and the principle is to distribute it to the best content, in a fair way. Players like @berniesanders do not believe in that, and will give you more than what your comments deserve, simply because he can, and he can convert you to his way of thinking with daily brainwashing articles.
There are tons of legit apps, often delegated by SteemIt Inc who can reward you for participating in the network. This guy only wants your attention, and because he is rich you are giving it to him? It's basically slavery
No content or comments on this platform are paid by worth !! Who decides? In the case of comments, the original poster. It's choices. And the slavery analogy doesn't wash because the free will of the commenter isn't being manipulated.
Anyway! Looks like the wrong thread for this debate, but I do appreciate you taking the time to reply :-)
@fulltimegeek is a worthless, hypocritical, flat-earth believing twat.
You like that New York dick in your mouth eh? Get your butthole ready, @fulltimegeek is jerking off for you!
Fulltimegeek has history of flagging users who don't believe in flat earth. He's turned into "yay goodie good guy" only after that, maybe only to gather praises for himself.
Are you saying that at this point in time upvoters are depleting the rewards pool every single day?
I haven't actually looked into it myself, but I would imagine there's just no way. If the rewards pool is being depleted every day then that means back when STEEM was $7+ and peoples upvotes were heavier (my heaviest upvote was 0.12 and is now back to 0.03) then that means that the rewards pool was definitely being depleted daily back then and the whole system is majorly flawed and cannot possibly accept growth if the rewards pool is being depleted every day.
Assuming there's 40k+ steem being rewarded daily and assuming that every steem rewarded went to awesome content creators, and our population of great content creators were to double due to community growth then those guys would not get anything because the rewards pool is already being consumed in full by the early adopters.
