That's most of my point. It's mostly about money and money is the sole value of your voice. This means engagement is NOT the goal, just money and monetary value for power.
Look at the majority of the posts. The truth if negative is shunned, while blindly glowing posts about Steemit are rewarded. The case could be made that this platform shuns truth.
This mirrors the biggest failures of our current real life system. There's nothing revolutionary here and it's definitely not contributing to the betterment of society...
Steemit will easily be overtaken in the near future.
