I share a lot with you. Specially the claim of “not for money” but I found myself chasing it now. Here is why. I like to write quality posts and I did write few. It went unnoticed. The reason is explained very clearly by everittdmickey. I have to make enough money (SBD) until I am able to push my posts to the trending or at least the hot list on the tags I like. I have followed his advice and play with what we have. Hopefully I would not get addicted to chasseing the money and not bother writing any thing at all. Having said that, as a social experiment steemit prove the fact that some kind of fair rules are required and rules must be enforce by some kind of authority. People are incapable yet to govern themselves by themselves yet. Wheals will swallow all the small fish driving it to become extinct and the wheals will starve to death.

If you're here for rewards, invest your time accordingly. I am here for other reasons, so I post and comment differently than I would were I chasing rewards.
My only financial goal is to meet my needs, which are simple, until I die old. I am already old, so I'm mostly done chasing money.
My goals on Steemit are much more about interacting with others, to learn what they know I don't.
I think whales on Steemit have pretty much done as you say, sadly. They may have met their goals, but their goals for Steemit aren't my goals. It doesn't matter to them whether I approve or not, however.
Still, I try to persuade them to make changes that will grow Steemit, and better distribute Steem.
