I'm probably the average Steemit user. I bought steem and used it to gain influence to post real estate articles. I never really did receive traction and while I would go strong for 30 day stretches I was not as committed by the others. Maybe I'm naive or even ignortant on this subject so feel free to provide good article posts in comments.
I admittedly became discouraged by the high rewards the stakers seemed to receive. Got frustrated how those who were rewarded mightily kept rewarding themselves and the other witnesses with big votes while the average guy struggled to be noticed.
I appreciate the people who worked hard on making this a better project. I still believe a blockchain such as Steem could be a game changer. I personally, maybe ignorantly, welcome TRON to takeover and make changes. I've seen almost no visible improvements in Steemit in the 4 years I have had an investment in the platform. Yes, I only invested hundreds not thousands (plus) but I know if less self interest and more community interest was the focus then Steemit would be much more valuable and influential of a platform.
I haven't spent hours reading all the articles. It is actually interesting how a blockchain can be hijacked. After 5+ years of being in existence the community should of improved the platform and security instead of creating self funding bots to make them rich.
Now the steemit rich are complaining that someone richer is controlling everything unfairly. Isn't that how the minnows have felt this whole time?
