Try to advertise Steem to potential markets with such a recommendation, and watch zero people sign up. It's ridiculous, and Steem will fail if that's the best you've got. It was the opposite offer, that people could sign up for free and gain Steem through upvotes of their content, that drew folks here.

When it was proved to be inaccurate, and that whales got most of the rewards, they left. For most people the necessary funds to buy enough Steem to become a whale are completely out of reach. How much more rewards could they expect with what they can pry from their paychecks, already overspent by most people today?

They didn't come here to spend their money. They came to earn it. It's bizarre to pretend this isn't the case, and hallucinatory to actually believe what you are saying. As to the rewards that actually exist on Steem, they are negligible because of profiteering, and worse after HF21 due to the quasi-exponential curve that makes smaller votes insignificant.

If those rewards weren't being extracted by whales stake weighting, were profiteering not reducing all content creators to ~10% of rewards PRIOR to HF21, some folks would stay and market Steem to others with their posts. This happened back in the day. As increasing profiteering has continued to reduce the rewards of such content creators, that useful marketing work, and the market they constituted, has increasingly shrunk and contracted.

You don't want to acknowedge these facts, so you do not. It doesn't matter that they're demonstrable and real. You just don't want it to be that way, so you'll keep pretending it's not.

Until you acknowledge that, we're done talking.
