Honestly? Who cares. If you managed to set up this amazing network? Great job. No seriously, you saw a chance for capitalising, and took it. That's really smart.
If you didn't? So be it too, still more successful than most people on here.
I think this is a bit of a tall poppy situation. I think steemits balance is a bit skewed, sure. But if you managed to capitalise on that skew, that's not some horrible conspiracy, it's clever investment.
