Yep, some valid points here for sure @gregcar48. There's definitely a lot of bullshit here on Steemit. That being said, there definitely are some whales who are focused on "spreading" rewards around by delegating SP to curation projects (@curie and @ocd are great ones) and other types of "quality" bots, among other things.

Your point is certainly not lost though. From the heaps of bullshit content here, to the pay bots, to the shitty whales. Steemit certainly is an experiment, we'll see how it goes. I for one though feel obligated to focus on the positive, at least for now. Because, the 1/99% paradigm is a certainty outside the walls of decentralized networks, along with the spying, tracking, data selling, privacy issues, govt collusion, and on and on. I'm hoping the majority of whales end up realizing that a healthy ecosystem here that generates excellent content and rewards said content appropriately is the ONLY way this experiment survives.
