RE: The concept of rewardpoolrape is anti-capitalist and anti-free market.

It's not really about fairness or giving everyone the same amount, it's about properly incentivizing the activities that increase the value of the platform, and making sure things that decrease that value are not rewarded. If we allow spam to be profitable, we can expect to attract a community of spammers. If Steem comes to primarily be a community of spammers, it will not be highly valued. Activity that makes Steem more valuable long term must be kept more profitable than activity that will make it less valuable in order for the value of Steem to increase.
