Great post @alex-icey .... I've said this many times on here if Steemit doesn't iron out these problems of hierarchy and unfairness they are leaving the door open for a competitor to take their users away. The Whales and big investors will lose more than the users, so you would think they would be implementing some changes ..... and fast.

Wouldn't YOU like to be a whale someday?
No not at all, I don't want power over other people. The consensus should decide quality content not a handful of users .... accumulated wealth is a separate issue. Crypto is a DECENTRALISED ideology/technology ... filtering voting power to the few is the opposite of what blockchain tech is mean't to achieve.
With no decentralized "competition" there is no consensus. And i'm not talking about having power over people... This platform is fantastic! And imho, it is this way because it provides objectivity. There's no committees or "taxes" it just automatically, through many many decisions of its users, elevates the best ones amongst them all.
Of course people take advantage! Of course people can be greedy! Of course it's not "fair" if you think everyone should have equal clout.
There is no "meant to achieve" with the blockchain -- and ironically, the big money in bitcoin is in the hands of the few...
Work hard. Steem on! And vote with your upvotes.
Peace bro
