Thank you for this. Your summary is a better articulation of what I couldn’t quite put my finger on in my thinking. It seems there are a couple different “threads” being woven into Steemit’s story... one the “the system is easy to milk and get rich” the other “support each other and you’ll be fine” - both are present, they just don’t always cohabitation peacefully. I’m not sure they must be in conflict of necessity, but then humans fight with each other over even less still. We are kind of like that... thanks for helping me think about this. Peace
