I'm so bored hearing about the power of Whales who mostly use Bots to reward their buddies, favorites and celebrity Steemit members.
The success of this site is going to be determined by quality of content and readership of that content.
Economic success is completely disconnected from content quality.
Not completely. And to be fair the value of this network is more about censorship resistance than payouts...but still i believe whales ONLY help themselves by empowering people who want to create content and organize community :)
To do anything else is either silly or greedy to such a levelas to be destructive!
Well said. As with the US economy (and most all around the world), greed is the biggest threat. In my opinion, anyway.
