Hey, wanna know a fun fact? Several of the Winesses have referred to authors on the site as being "Marxist" because apparently the authors aren't supposed to be rewarded for their work as it's the "Block-Verifiers" who do the real work... The irony is that your counter-description is spot on!

I must agree as well, if Steem ever spikes again, I'm gonna start pulling out as well. There are other social blockchains out there, other crypto social networks. Steem has run aground and I don't think it will be pulled back out to sea.
