the spam bullshit posters are there because the system is flawed if it were an equal system it wouldn't happen that much and even if it did happen they only have a limit or earning a day as to not create a draining.
But with $$50-$100 a day you can live a kings life so the top earners don't even have the right to complain. neither is it a bad idea.
Let's talk politically for a sec but it involves steemit pay attention
The structure you are missing is that the form of government called a democracy is what allows for the continuation of what you don't want aka corruption, the form of what you call the republic is the only way to bring to light the things you need, its not because of that there is corruption in former republic system that its not a system you would want.
It is actually highly needed for a evolution in society.
Be that Digitally or Politcally you always need a republic system in order to move forward.
This is btw why Trump was chosen in these times, because the new is coming in as I mentioned many times in my posts, and in the near future Democracy will be gone. because its an old limiting factor of society.
And yes some monitoring needs to be done but to me right now steemit was made to make the CEO's richer and some members on the top to sustain the income for the CEO's.
Thats all i'm seeing right now. i have made $215 in 2 months which is basically nothing. its profit but its nothing. and 50% of that i was able to cash out in Bitcoins and that's it
Steemit does not reward quality content it rewards content that is favored by the top members.
Well Rich you have my full support, bring it about ;)
