Well, here we are again.
Still bringing attention to the fact that 10 accounts take 1 of every 4 rewards and lavish them on their favorites.
Total: 27.84% source
This time it's not just me, I brought back up.

It's not like the top 50 influencers aren't aware of what is happening here.
Their attitude seems to be to buy into the reward pool rape to line their own pockets and screw the nobodies that complain.
They take what they can, while they can.
They really don't have any reason to care, most of them have cashed out plenty already to compensate themselves for their efforts here.
And, honestly, they know that no matter what they do there will always be a core group of steemizens willing to suffer any abuse to continue the dream of what steem could be if the greed didn't make it something else entirely.
Those ignorant souls that froth at the idea of getting a ned vote or delegation are not aware that ned's influence on the reward pool takes value from ALL other votes to give what it gives to those select few.
That delegation that you rent from blocktrades, et al, makes the game unattractive to literally thousands of newbs, while making easy money for minnowbooster and the other gangs.
As long as the largest sp holders use their advantage in the math, the smallest among us have literally no chance at building rewards.
This fact is exacerbated by the rise in steem price.
Higher steem price equals smaller sp payouts.
I would have put a screenshot of blocktrade's delegations, but there are literally scores of them. You will have to go to steemworld.org and look in delegations out, for yourself.
If you can't figure out why your post only gets a few pennies you can lay a lot of that at the feet of those accounts that pay to rent the wealth of the accounts that want to be paid for contributing nothing.
I get wanting to make the platform attractive to folks, but doing it in a way that turns more folks off is not how to do it, if you ask me.
I get that to attract large influencers from other platforms some way for them to become noticed is needed.
I literally don't care that that utube dude is here with his 5m viewers, but I did get notice of it on the trending page.
I even wasted ten minutes of my life to find out that I would have rather not known.
Do we really want to appeal to morons?
I don't think favoring folks that have literally contributed nothing with outsized rewards that they haven't earned from the actual daily users is the way to do it.
Neither do I think that allowing folks to buy their rewards makes the platform attractive to everyday users.
Bought friendship is not real friendship.
You get that by being real.
Artificial pumps to attract attention isn't going to be sustainable.
Those folks are gonna cashout once their most favored status is gone.
If you want rewards from the reward pool, put out 'good' content, comment on other author's posts, gather a real following and not one just scrounging for upvotes.
If you are one of the large accounts, stop cutting your own throats by trying to buy your friends, eh?
We are a welcoming lot here, just come in, pull up a chair, and be real with us.
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying. No war, but the class war!!
