It is unfortunate that we have these extractors everywhere . People who are bent on milking whatever community they find themselves in even on steemit here.
And like you rightly said, the worst part of it is that they are now being honored for doing so and that's very bad. Probably because the number of extractors are on the increase and so to gain power, they would need to empower each other at the expense of others.
This piece spills the sad truth but what can we do about it?
