>Steem Inc has their stake. It's theirs and Steem Inc is own by people which own themselves and their labor.

Ok, I own this rope and ladder, I have a nearby tree, and the ability to tie a noose, should I tie the knots, climb the ladder and jump?

Their conduct only makes sense if they know that the platform will never have value outside the top ~1000 authors and the content that they create.
Because it is early yet they can vote most of the money like they are Harvey Weinstein.
This is their private boys club.

You don't expect me to support them in that endeavor, I hope.

>@misterdelegation delegated more than a million to Steemcleaners.

I further hope that you don't expect me to cheer them for fattening themselves on the backs of the poor.
Every one of those sp takes from authors.
If they delegate 20% of the reward pool each day, 100's of content creators get nothing.

Perhaps if they weren't so busy congratulating themselves on their newfound wealth, and the Harvey perks that come with it, they could begin to consider how to make the place welcoming to 10,000 authors rather than 200.
Wouldn't that do more for the value of steem than giving it to those that sell their grandmothers for shekels?

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the ~5000usd I have been given here, but I would like to see a zero added to that sometime this decade, I got grandkids that love ice cream, too.

I don't see that happening if less than 1000 authors can be interested in creating content on an extended basis.
Do they really want a database full of cat videos and 'look at me spend money' posts?
Maybe latte art?

You have seen the content I put out, what would happen if the world actually read the links I push out there?
If my proposal got me elected King of the World?

Don't you want to see rule by force pass from the earth?
That won't happen playing the same game over and over.
