Yes , that is concerning - and a long time ago (pre steemit/hive split) I used to follow everything a little closer / pay more attention.

The last couple years have been rough and I stopped paying attention (it's been in the background thoughts though)

I mean, those guys have the $$$ to run the equipment - so that's how the system works.

The big fish eat the little fish.

I'm just along for the ride at this point.
