This is a pointless argument. Most people that have money or make large investments do so for profit. This is not a charity platform. Why is it an unfair practice? Unethical? No. You must be first be good to yourself.
In this world of STEEMIT your worth is measured in part by your steem. NOT by your content. There are thousands of posts that deserve more than some shit post about ayahuasca earning hundreds of dollars.
But steemit is not a religion or a church or whatever pious platform you want it to be. It is a business where people who invest in it have to be brought in and given incentives. If you want something fair, whatever that word means, go to CNN ( just kidding) Can you name one platform where monetizing content occurs and practices are fair. I hope all minnows understand the meaning of that word. We are baits for the big fish until we become big. It is unfair to call something unfair just because you ethically dislike it. That sounds like a religion to me.

Thank you for your response, you bring a valid perspective to the table :)
As I have said to many I agree that whales to earn as they deserve to. Profit is the main juice to an investor. And as you know, people who buyinto companies and become major shareholders gain a lot of power. There are those who look after the whole enterprise as their own and nurture the operations, the shareholders, stakeholders, and the employees. That makes a company thrive. Then there are those who go in to drain the company and all affected by the companies (like residents in villages that get evicted for building say... a resort) and take as much as they can and destroy their environment as a short term investment.
Oh and I personally very rarely speak the work FAIR. I gave that up when I was a small child. But I do believe in doing my best in good practice in all of what I do
Thank you for your response I value these conversations as this where I learn a lot and new ideas are born.
Come and have a look @yoda1917 and see if we can carry on our conversation.
Look forward to seeing you again :)
