You have possibly exemplified one of my previous points here, Ned - "the disenfranchising rhetoric is coming after a long time of contributing here...".
If you mean 'long time of contributing here' before it grew, when it was just you and your buddies and a few of their insiders, how can it be labelled as "disenfranchising rhetoric" rather than "a valid point in need of addressing"?
I don't point this out to be spiteful or because I have never gotten any gain from any steemit asset that I know of (aside from the initial account's approval). I point it out because of seeing old account insiders profiting handsomely off of YouTube video cut/paste posts (with little to no personal commentary) while also seeing new account outsiders pouring their time and efforts into arts/music/etc. with little to no exposure or reward.
It's a great Social Site platform, flawed as it is useful and entertaining. But is it a revenue stream where "authors get paid for..." or is it a game where authors gamble their investments for entertainment purposes only? And can you at least agree that if the game looks or feels fixed it's worth looking into and getting answers?
