That's all it'll take to counter him - either buy it yourself

He won't buy Steem. He is here to extract, pretending to care about issues so he can milk them. He admitted in a reply to my mentioning elsewhere he is milking the Family Protection project that he doesn't support them from his earnings because it wouldn't be worth his time to write the posts if he did.

It's interesting watching him blame whales for greed. Like so many that came here, he doesn't get communities only grow strong if the members they consist of cultivate them with investment. So easy to blame whales for the state of this place, but I always felt it was people like this guy. If enough cared to invest in having an upvote for others of like mind, all ships would have risen. Never should have come to the point on what whales are or aren't doing.

From one of his comments to you.

Also, let me just add that this IS the way "it (now) works" because the decision makers here have left me no other choice.

He was left no other choice, lmao. He is now claiming lack of agency in this matter.

End of my little rant on this clown. Many seem to have become disheartened here over whale behavior. For me, it was clowns like this. Heaven forbid the focus be on the community and let whatever rewards come be an afterthought. Okay, really done now.
