Thanks for the info Dragosroua. I just don't understand these inequalities. I agree with you, if the top 20 witnesses are being paid so much more they should be giving an equivalent amount in extra value.
I appreciate that it's different from the top whales issue but from a newbie perspective it looks very similar. People at the top getting a bigger slice of the pie, just for being at the top. Once again it just reflects the outside world to me. The longer I am here the more it seems that Steemit is a just a micro reflection of what goes on outside.
It's not surprising but I wasn't expecting it. In order to stay and to continue to enjoy it here I feel I need to accept that and focus on all the stuff I love here. Some days it's easier than others.
