Certainly it was not his most lucid moment to comment.
Many of his comments are only defenses of the status quo and not explanations as such of what HF21 means
Perhaps he is not very lucid either; but it seems that in the practice you promote, the curator is privileged above the author
Authors (good ones) are important for Steem, but curators are important for authors.
Maybe it's two different and opposite points of view.
According to my vision of this platform (not necessarily correct) the authors are important for curators, because without content they would do? ... criticize each other?
Now, without authors or content, only the whales would remain.
Could it be that they decided to stay alone? ... are they creating an elite with some intention that we don't know?
Those are not two different or opposite points of view.
It's how this ecosystem works. As mentioned - pretty much same as any other producer-consumer relation.
You have read the comments? ... there are different points of view, some of them opposite each other.
This platform is NOT a producer and consumer relationship because the good that is distributed in the interactions is limited and prefixed by distribution criteria and not transactions. In addition, an exchange eon is managed whose value is NOT the same for all producers or all consumers.
