Steem is both a social media platform and investment platform IMO. This feature draws more of the investor crowd but in turn, they help fund those that contribute content. It’s all just part of the ecosystem and I think it’s good. I don’t see the harm because content creators benefit form this. Otherwise the “investors” just gravitate or “curate” the accounts with the biggest wallets (ie haejin), magnifying the divide between the “rich” and “poor”. I’ve delegated to small voting bots which helps the smaller accounts get started. Keeps everyone engaged and that’s what steem needs.
