I hear ya man. The rich get richer scratching each other's asses. Flaws in every system that get exploited. Use em or lose em, right? There were a few quirks on Steemit that made me scratch my chin. Like the huge payback curation rewards and self upvoting whales are able to do. Their posts alone receive $$rewards many a minnow would be ecstatic to have just once. So the rich get richer scratching their own ass. I don't know if Hive has changed that aspect at all. Be well my friend.
