Very good perspective, and I agree to a point.
However, we have to be careful about just assuming that the system is perfect as-is and that we can just run the experiment and expect everything is fine. We are in a beta for a very good reason. Things are not balanced yet.
It reminds me of the game Magic the Gathering. The format right now is not balanced, which doesn't mean that everyone should be equal, it means that the incentives and algorithms of the platform aren't dialed in perfectly in order to keep it growing as it should.
The potential is certainly there, and this healthy dialogue is what is going to get us there, not some sort of wishful thinking that everything is going swimmingly and that it's just the naysayers that have the problem.
Anyway, hope to hear more from you! Gotta give props to people that are willing to listen to others that don't agree yet still give them an upvote! Your family raised you right! ^^
