My comment was directed to steemit.inc not the author.
We have many good authors and artists on platform.
My experience so far is that the more famous author the fastest he or she leaves. And until now I didn't see any of them to buy a single steem. All freebies.
Somehow I would expect from a prominent person like you to properly use a downvote.
Disagreement with one's stance shouldn't be the reason for downvote.
I have no time or will to discuss any further so you don't bother answering.
