Totally agree with everything you said in your bullet points. The system is so corrupt here to keep the whales rich and everyone else poor, it's heading for a ponzi type collapse (I wouldn't invest in Steem if I was you...)
My only difference is I refuse to use any bots, ever. Fuck them, why should I put money in someone elses pocket for nothing ? Bots are just another scam that people can milk to make money for doing absolutely nothing.
Anyway, you can have my $0.00 value upvote, because it was a good article.
I thought that too. But...

It's free as a bird.
