When I joined the platform I had NO IDEA that the rewards pool was shared between all people. Because I didn't know that, I rented SP and upvoted everything I did a lot. Almost nothing is explained anywhere. To outsiders it looks like you just come in, rent out delegation, write 10 comments and upvote yourself constantly and earn easy money.

Hive and Steem's problem have always been nothing is explained, there should be an introduction course you HAVE to take, answer questions, before getting a free account. If theres things were just explained easily up front a lot of the bad spam stuff wouldn't happen.
