"Steem is attempting to finetune it"
To me, fine tuning an economy or economic system is the opposite of a free market, and a recipe for disaster (either now or later), as well as corruption. It's exactly what I'm trying to get AWAY from, and trying to not support. The more Steem/Steemit (and insiders) manipulate the rules of this blockchain, the worse it gets for the free market, which ultimately means this will fail. Sure, some people will walk away with profits, but most will have invested money and time to something that went nowhere.
You and many other insiders are constantly telling the rest of us "NewSteem is making life better for all" but that's nonsense. You're still raking in money, just doing it in a slightly different way now, and we're still providing content but not getting compensated. NewSteem is the same as it ever was, except even more advantageous for insiders.
Finetuning the rules of the chain does not mean free market goes away. Everyone knows that when a new tech comes along and there is no regulation whatsoever everyone will do whatever they can to abuse it.
Most of the rest of what you said is pretty much bullshit so not even gonna bother, there will always be people complaining about this and that even if there are literally no other alternatives to Steem like right now. Ain't nobody got time for that.
