it looks a little strange to preserve the classification of users as in the Steemit ecosystem
The classification is not from "Steemit" but from what we are used to in the cryptosphere, especially "whales"
Has already been explained many times, this classification is "weight" based i.e. relative to the amount of HIVE you have staked (powered-up) and your influence on governance.
Insects and bees classification is "role based", which would be hard to implement and track.
We gave it I try before launching HiveBuzz but had to gave up because it is not "working"
I'm sorry if it looked like a claim! Absolutely not, this is rather a rhetorical question for the introduction :)
You've done a wonderful job. When preparing this post, I was well aware that this topic was discussed more than once. But when did something like this stop someone ;)
