(I'm truly sorry for the non-circlejerk post guys)
Maybe it's the loser in me, the one who doesn't like to see shady guys flaunting money and giving life lessons to honest hard working people all over the world that can barely survive on $10 per day.
We are throwing money at schemers and scammers, electing them as the faces and unofficial promoters of this platform.
Whales promote these schemers, these snake oil sellers and marketers and then justify the obscene payouts. "He writes great posts", "He has insights", "He brings mo people mo money", "Users upvoted him, that's all".
They don't understand they are making Steemit look worse and make their detractors even more skeptical of how the whole platform works. And what's worse, many think he earned all his upvotes fair & square. He did not, the vast majority just upvoted and commented to get some rewards, look at how the tides are turning now, he's getting plenty of downvotes and many great posts criticizing his behavior. But the fear is real, the system is machiavellian. Whales have the same power to upvote as to downvote, it's not easy to speak the truth here, this may very well be the most refined selfcensored social media platform on the Internet.
Steemit is rotten to the core.
Money is king.
Users won't stop at nothing to get that sweet 0.002 SP reward.
Run on for a long time
