Thank you @prettydecent.

Yes. We think the angle of "get paid for your content" is the one and only major notable distinction between Steem and typical social media for the average user.

Again, Yes. Early adopters are rewarded.... late adopters will have to "work harder"/"pay more".

Those giant accounts invested tremendous wealth(or time) to bring Steem to where it is now. Just as we will benefit from the coming waves of newcomers, so too will those that were here before us.

More then anything, the founders will gain the most benefit. As they should, for they turned an idea and a series of mathematical equations into.... a billion dollar+ exosphere that we all now get to play in and benefit from.

This platform has serious potential for a literal world basic income for creatives (we are so grateful for this). @steembasicincome, @qurator, @earthnation-bot are several services proving conceptual versions of this idea.
