I think the "suggested tip" was rolled into the $50, wasn't it?
It was 30 steem account creation fee + ~$14 suggested tip totalling approx. $50?
Could be wrong there.

It was 50 Steem, (14 Steem was a tip) but at the end of the check out he asked for another 10-20 Stem tip to make you "feel good". This was steem not SBD so another 15-50% more than SBD.
Yeah, well I certainly can't argue that those numbers aren't bad.
Tip? For what?
I am barely making any money in steem, I have 2 jobs in real life that barely pay my rent and still try to keep my page updated by writing at least 1 post per day. I also work as a writer for another group on steemit as a way of supporting each other and I haven't been paid a penny even, so far.
I certainly can't imagine how people (whales in particular) are supporting such outrageous behaviors.
Who can we trust in this case? Scary world indeed
"Tip? For what?"
Well, for the service. I'm not saying it is or is not justified, just explaining what appear to be the motivations.

I'm afraid none of that has anything to do with what Jerry can or should charge for a hypothetical service. However, I understand the distaste completely.
"I certainly can't imagine how people (whales in particular) are supporting such outrageous behaviors."
Life runs on game theory, except when emotions make people irrational. Jerry is one of the best sources of curation rewards on the platform, so that is enough to get lots of autovotes.

Probably anyone not trying to tell you to trust them.
