That's empirically false. View the blokchain data if you disagree.
they earned it
is in contradiction with
they didn't earn it
which you said originally. That's the point I was trying to make. Does Steemit have an economics problem? It's very possibly it does, and I've been very vocal about that already in posts like this.
to deny that the whale status they got now is unfair and artificial is just childish
I assume by "childish" you mean irrational? To me, if they did indeed "earn it" (as you're now saying they did and that's no problem), then how is that "unfair"? If I create something, do I have the right to destroy it by making bad decisions (if that's indeed what's happening here)?
