The transparency here is great, but some of these people have learned the be sneaky. I think they need to be called out as they are taking a large share of the available rewards without adding that much value. The buying of votes is totally out of control as the sellers are happy to take the money. If these people are selling their Steem then it's not helping the price. They could benefit more in the long term if the price goes up, but they just seem interested in a quick profit.
You can bet that these people will not get any support from me.
There are all kinds here which is something that there really has to be as dealing with all kinds is what we have to work out. People want an inclusive system but expecting everyone to behave, especially given the varying background conditions is not going to get us far. Best to work out how to mitigate and encourage better.
We each have our own ideas of what Steem can be. Some are just out for their own gain, but I want it to be more inclusive. It's a shame some bullies try to drive good people away. That's the cost of freedom.
