There are a lot of people who sign up for this platform, blog and do not see many upvotes worth more than .50. If they wish to continue and believe in Steemit/Steem, they can purchase upvotes and gain a little bit of SP/SBD. (Like me...)

If someone continues to blog and does not receive upvotes like the popular Steemians, they will quit which is apparent with 425K accounts made and 26k posts per day. Roughly a 6% participation rate which does not include multiple posts by one user and bots.

Take away all of the upvote services like Randowhale and the amount of people quitting this platform will rise IMO. (Steemit will be the old regs, whales and dolphins upvoting each other, is that what Ned and Dan wanted?) People will not put up with the rich getting richer and the poor not receiving upvotes...
