It is not true. Most are reward earnings more than investments. I know a man who joined this platform three months ago and has made over 40,000 steems. If the guys that control here from the background want you to rise they make you rise.
If they feel otherwise, you go into oblivion. I am not a daft. I have watched this for a while before I come to this conclusion.
I challenged one so-called whale here who happens to be a coder in the platform for trying to rub shit on my face and the following day, every of my post went down with one or two views. Someone will tell me that it is not possible but hei everything is possible here.
This is not the decentralized platform they made all of us to know. Some people mined steem at some point and are still probably doing at the moment. I have defended this indefensible system at several points in the past but hei, it is time to say it as it is.
Who knows, some people of good conscience can still arise and do the needful. The system is as corrupt as the centralized system so why should people be condemning the conventional economic system here daily? This place stinks more than the centralized economy in my own opinion.
Flag my comments if you like. He that is down fears no fall. If this place is not changed, I see a better system in the horizon taking over. Most of the people who are keeping quiet are doing so like I was doing before so I understand their predicament.
If you are one of the beneficiary, you will not understand why I talk like this. It is not different from what happens in the conventional economies of the world.
Call steemit what it is right now, and there won't be any problem. Do any marketing advert you want to do for steemit. If one million people come in, I can bet you that in the next one month, 800,000 of them will churn out by going inactive.
There is no reward for excellence here as claimed so you can keep trying until you are fed up like me.
Wow.
