That's actually how people should look at it, and we are all share holders in a sense. The people who risked their capital to create Steemit and the early investors who backed them have most of the shares. There's nothing wrong with that either.
Now that the "company" has launched, other people, like myself, are free to purchase shares. It doesn't mean we should control the company though. Leave the company's leadership to the people most qualified to do it. There's a reason the top share holders control the company after all.
We need Steemit to change into a facebook killer. That development takes time and money. It won't be done magically and without expense. I went and tried Minds and MeWe, and I just don't like them compared to Steemit. This place STILL has the most promise in my opinion.
We just need to make sure the "protect the majority" communist crap doesn't ruin the place.
