I've only been here a short while, but in that time, I've wondered if the STEEM blockchain is really meant to be just a Social Media platform, or if it's actually just another way for investors to make money.

Most things around here are not truly set up to make money for creators and curators, as they are to make money for those who time their votes, pay for voting bots and delegation, and in most particular, those who receive the payments for their bots and delegation.

There's millions in SP just sitting doing nothing. There's millions more being delegated to projects that may or may not be good for STEEM as a Social Media platform, but provide another opportunity for those with an investors mindset.

So, while the basic accoutrements of a Social Media platform may exist, and while there are certainly people here who are using what's available as if it were social media, it sure feels like the investor has the greater influence here.
