Hey, @nnarvaez.

Thanks for pointing those things out specifically. I guess I was working in a broader category of spams and scams, but anyway.

There's more that could happen, as you point out, to siphon off more or to game the system. It's apparently endless if you have the know how. Which is sad.

My concern is, if STEEM can't make it, then there's not much hope for some other system, either, because the same kind of behaviors and mentalities will be involved there, too.

STEEM itself is an awesome technology. The people moving it around, well, they tend to be more self-serving it seems than what they really should be if the platform and community is to ever thrive and be for everyone.
