You make a scathing criticism of the functioning of financial markets and the economy in general. I do not agree that markets are dominated by a few large investors and stock exchanges who primarily seek profit, which contributes to the growing wealth gap. It is logical that people with fewer resources cannot compete with those who have more, since even the conservative investments of the rich can generate more returns due to their ability to invest in greater volume. Exactly, this happens in HIVE, the powerful with one vote take a big cut while the little fish day after day fight to reach levels that allow them, "with the little they can", to provide themselves with some sustenance.
You must be careful @amigoponc, that every time you comment on something related to the hive, they end up giving you negative votes. The powerful always believe they are right. Hence the famous saying: we are not gold coins to be liked by everyone. It is said that this network is “uncensored”, but go see the damage they did to you when you exposed the theft of accounts and the bleeding of what was in them, as they tried to do with your user —I remember— and that you managed to recover after a week. Blessings, old friend.
If I remember correctly, the reason that particular post was downvoted, was because it was fundamentally wrong.
There is a "slight" difference on Hive, in that it is an opt-in system, as well as an opt-out. No one is forced to join, no one is forced to stay. No one is forced to post, vote, or do anything else here. People opt into the system at all levels.
