Great points.

Yea, its been fascinating seeing the rise of separate support groups for minnows. Whalepower, Whale shares, Minnow Support, etc. Part of me can't help but wonder if there motives are really pure, or if they are power (or witness-vote) driven.

It feels to me that if they worked together, they could add the help they are providing directly into the product of Steemit instead of separating it into different cliques with different solutions to the same problem.

And personally, I love each and every robot that reads my poetry. Ha.
