yeah, thanks for your post. I think many have realized this and why steem has had such a large downward pressure. Half of the economic mechanisms are just made up, they don't make any sense. it's not really good news for the steem economy, or at least it's a trend towards centralization of the platform.

I'm still sticking around for a while, i'd like to see SMTs go live and communities and see how steem goes from there, exploring other platforms as well.
