RE: An Open Letter to @uyobong and @steemchurch Members
I have been oblivious about this drama until just now.
Then I went to my wallet and had five different deposits from members asking for support and a vote of the steemchurch community for this delegation.
Up until the first delegation contest from @theycallmedan, I had never heard nor seen the steemchurch tag or page.
I believe people, whether at their job and up for review for a raise, looking for support or whatever the circumstances in life are should be rewarded for their integrity, work ethic and performance; not by bribing, infiltrating someone else's space or requesting such things.
I belong to quite a few communities and groups on steemit who are ALL asking members to support, rally for and vote for their communities; which I believe puts many people in a position of picking their favorite.
Being a mother of three, that's like asking me to pick which child is my favorite.
@goldendawne,
I am a strong advocate of Meritocracy.
The reason is simple: In any competitive system, of which Steemit is one, there must be some method of justifying the distribution of rewards.
Steemit has "Limited Resources," that is, it's Reward Pool CANNOT provide everyone with a "material reward" without dramatically increasing the Money Supply (printed money) and thereby triggering massive inflation ... and the collapse of the currency's price.
And so, there will inevitably be a hierarchy. All throughout Nature and other human-created systems, we see a phenomenon called the Pareto Principle. In effect, the square root of the number of participants will create half the outcomes and generate half the rewards. Hence, out of a group of 100 people, one would expect 10 SuperStars to generate 50% of the Great Content and receive 50% of the Payouts.
In more than three years, Steemit has not managed to create a single SuperStar.
Why not?
I would proffer that it's because the Curation System meant to identify and compensate such individuals is castrated. It is castrated by game-rigging that instead diverts compensation to one vote-buying/selling mechanism or another.
This is not sustainable. Steemit has "gotten away with murder" for this long because it had an effective monopoly ... no competition. THAT will change. When it does, there will be Hell to pay if reforms are not soon enacted.

Ignorance is not an argument goldendawne.
A little bit of research would reveal that SteemChurch is one of the largest and longest running communities on Steem.
