"Who said anything about fair? "
You did. It's what we were discussing, before you decided to move the goalposts. You are being disingenuous, and failing to address issues of import because you don't like the facts. You can do that without my participation.
Upvoting users is how you grow the market. It's how you encourage them to market Steem to potential users as well.
"People arbitrarily voting new users for the sake of quality content likely will actually drive prices down even faster than people mostly being able to earn based on their investment/stake. It's simple economics."
Then the white paper was nothing but a lie, a fraud to draw in rubes to fill the golden parachutes of the ninjaminers, and social media does not exist.
On the contrary the FAANGs prove that social media is the most profitable business model on Earth today, and a simple glance at market cap reveals that fact. I will no longer substantiate your fallacious and erroneous claims by responding. Go live in your pretend world by yourself, and quit trying to drag me into it.
