Thanks for the kind words @infinityroad! I really like reading comments and responding to them. Stuff like this keeps anyone going on a social network.
I did a post recently exactly about this greed on steemit that wie can see clearly since the prices of steem went up that much. It can not be overseen.
Thing is the Steem network (and participants) have a short-term memory and more than willing to look past any exploits done by any of the accounts. Well, "exploits" anyway since it's not clear cut all the time when money's involved.
