Different landscape, same show...
People around here tend to be a bit myopic; this kind of "rewards" community has been around for 20-odd years, and every. single. one. has gone down in flames, sooner or later. Blockchain-schmockchain... we're talking about human nature here.
So yeah, I'm totally with you... let's just enjoy the show while it's still fun!
I know it’s easy to get attached to the idealistic view of the blockchain, especially in case of Steemit, but I for one think it’s a utopia. People are people and money is money, no matter how you try to paint them in a new light.
