There are notable examples of exceptions to the getting paid for stats rules in sports. I could argue monopolized industries and plutocracy has put us all in the world in a situation where we are easily compromised or put in a walled garden of authoritarian NGOs and bankers who took over all resources and even sports.
Just some examples for sports...

“In our sport, you get paid off of potential. A rockstar, you have to be good,” Jordan said. “If you come in now, most of our young kids we don’t know how good they’re gonna be, but yet they got five-year guarantees, millions of dollars, admirations of many. They get that before they play one game. You’re rolling the dice to see if this kid is ever gonna be good or not. So, in essence, you’re paying the kid off of potential that he may be great. I think it sets bad work ethic. When you get something so easily, you’re not gonna work as hard.”

"The top 5 percent [of fighters] are definitely making good money, but you've got to look at the guys at the bottom of the card," the fighter said. "They can't fight anywhere else. If they make $10,000 a fight and fight every six months, they can't make ends meet."
"We're definitely not getting our fair share of the cash," said another fighter currently under contract with the UFC. A fan favorite, he, too, refused to be named, citing concerns about the reaction from UFC management.
"Any opposition, they [expletive] crush it," said the fighter. "Until somebody starts a union, we're all sort of at their mercy."
But hopefully you are right and that's the individual's time to rise. We are the product and we can't just let them easily take over our communities and minds.
Im sure there is space for the individual to over come the mind control and provide real world value to themselves and the community.
Maybe blockchain technologies can be used to help build and strengthen real world economies and communities locally; thus empowerment to the individual.
That is certainly true on the initial contract, especially in sports like #basketball and #football. However, over time, the ones who put up the stats tend to make the money (unless it is a box office draw like Jordan with the Wizards).
This is a large undertaking and will require a lot of people waking up to the misdirection and lies that the mainstream media provides.
The key is developing a system to contrast what is taking place at the other level. We are starting to put together the foundation.

I see massive development and to be honest the base code is brilliant the way Dan created it. Steem and now Hive are amazing reflections of real world inflationary economic system.
Now that it is less of a totalitarian ecosphere and one of governance, on Hive more so than crypto in general, I see Dan's baby taking on a life of its own and evolving beautifully.
EXCEPT... I do think that the social media side needs to have greater representation with the governance aspect in terms of development and further protecting the content creators there (prioritizing the individual) in the case a big enough purchase is made with hive in which we all get IBM rich but see the social media side dissolve.
Or better promote hive with modern day social media content creators with large audiences in order to better sell Hive. Further backing the argue your making that the individual still and will always have power. Its just a matter of harnessing that power through trends in suppose.
