RE: If Steem were a country, it would be the most unequal society in the world

in #steem7 years ago

It should be noted and very strongly ... that steemit is NOT A COUNTRY. It is a business and if you were to look at any publicly traded business, I imagine you'd find the same kind of percentages. We do not have to live in the steemit world; we have choice. Ned is the CEO of steemit; he is not an elected official. He and Dan created an intellectual property and then saw fit to reward the users of said intellectual property. Truth, that has helped it grow. We 'buy' into steemit and/or are GIVEN steem power to get going and then we are rewarded for posting and reading; that is unlike any other social media site.

Rather than comparing steemit Gini score with other countries ... how do we compare to other publicly traded companies. That is a like to like comparison.

I do want to thank you. You have provided some transparency to the platform. My feel. With time, we will see steemit grow. People will form communities and networks and steem power and affluence will be more spread out. I know I spread my up-votes around. But if you want to make money here, invest if you can and work hard. Post and appreciate the work of others.
