Interesting perspective. So top 20 witnesses on HIVE are mostly paid by freedom, pumpkin, and themselves😆

No, they're paid from the pool of new tokens generated by inflation, just as they are here. The voters backing them merely choose them to get paid, and don't pay them directly.

Uh yeah, they're paid by the stakeholder community voting for them. Whereas here it comes down in its virtual entirety to Justin Sun.
