Thank you for this carefully and tactful message to our CEO as well all who hold Steemit dear.
It is truly disheartening to see this kind of of self serving actions from the leader of the band. Really takes the wind out of all the small town folks who are really just trying to get pennies a post turn into a dollar or two.
When this magnitude of rewards are removed every time he posts, then how can those who read his work not question his motives in ANY project or statement made.
The true nature of all are shown and made visible to all eventually and with the blockchain fully undeniable.
Hoping your message is taken in the proper context it was written, to build a quality and diverse Steemit, not just enrich a few whales.
Thanks,
Craig
