I am upset daily by what I see making giant rewards, but with regard to you, I never am. There are very few people who make it to my "list", but you are at the top. I love the tools you've made for us, and my life would suck without Vessel, so basically, you deserve everything you are getting.
I have similar feelings about the recognition of this being a game, and in fact, I've been playing my own version of this game from day 1. I was playing a different game from most of the early players.....As the early ones were all trying ot figure out how to "game the system," I was busy trying to figure out how to best build my empire. I had a vision of what I wanted to do in life from 10 years ago, but i never had the proper tool set. Whereas most people only want riches, and lambos, my game involved something a bit different.....I hope that someday in the next few years it will become very obvious why I have been playing this game. It's best not to reveal plans, only results. 
For me, this place is a mental petri dish. It reflects what's inside of you. If it is war you want, you will get that. For me, I always saw this place as an evolved reflection of the what the indigenous people of the world called a "gift economy". That what I always saw in here, and what I will continue to see. Planet Steem is going to physically morph into various hallucinations by various people, even if it materializes in other dimensions, or blockchains.

Haha, it totally is and so true. Wise words, it totally is what you make it.

I'm pretty sure I did not sign up to find myself in the middle of a war zone, with petty warlords leaving a trail of down voted bodies across the landscape, tearing down the edifices that others have erected because they could.

I'm pretty sure I didn't make this place like that.

I'm also pretty sure that I didn't make it a place where spamming is trivial and profitable, marginal content was rewarded as much as that which takes significant effort, and someone else is always looking over your shoulder trying to decide if you have "earned too much" on something.

I am almost dead certain that I didn't make it that way.

When I look for wisdom, I usually like it to reflect the actual experience. If it doesn't – it's just words. Maybe it's words that make you feel good, but they don't have any meaning.

This place is a petri dish, I'll give you that, but the cultures within don't reflect the desires of most of those who are standing around the edge. The cultures are from the most virulent and active infections that got to the dish first.

Maybe you could make penicillin from them, but if you're looking for something valuable, you're far better off looking around the edges of the dish for almost overlooked samples and ignore the mess in the middle.

You signed up for a decentralized and censorship resistant social network where there is no governing body and the rules of the blockchain are law. It might not of been how it was marketed to you - and that's the fault of those marketing Steemit.com. 

No one said you made Steem the way it is - the "it is what you make it" is in regards to your experience and how you react to the situations that occur within those laws. You could ignore the actions of others and accept this is how it works (for now) and your experience would likely be much more positive. 

The point is - no one is breaking any rules and this is what we have. It could be a thousand times better but complaining about other people's actions isn't going to solve the problem, changing the laws will.
