RE: Steem is its own worst critic
Yes.
A real content creator can come in and make good money from day 1. Which makes the early Stake holders nervous.
Since they see that content creators will be the main star going forward. Someone is making value fast! Especially if they are not investing into content creators clearly that must breed some level of nervousness.
If Steem 5x in value and a person comes in and earns 5 Steem a day then that is 750 dollars in 30 days. So this illusion of scarcity has hit many people when they only look at the short term time frame.
Stake holders shouldn't try to be content creators if they are not. They can just invest into others and play the long game. Win-win on all sides. A paradigm shift is coming. It was here for a short while early 2018. It will come back again 1 day.
Very few in this industry understand anything long term, it is all about fast income. Those that do however will still be earning years from now on the work they put in today.
