I like @randowhale, you did a great job with the last version and I am following the development you do up close. Brilliant business-strategy.

When it comes to @instructor2121 I have seen him working very transparent in building up a community of real people who read and follow different content, my impression is that his trails have a function of a good old fashion "book-reading-club" who curate very serious in a manual time-consuming way.

When it comes to "lining his pockets" and "taking rewards from the rewardpool" - that seems to be a very quick judging opinion from your side. Maybe it will do you good to come on discord and actually talk - voice with him and his community of 1000+ members on http://discord.gg/pz3UT6s when they have meetings every night.

Or join steemspeak with 1500+ members on http://discord.gg/g7amU35 and ask the always active people there what they think about this.

I´ll upvote myself right here to line my own pockets and give you something to flag for free. Remember, if anything is wrong in your world you can always come and just... blame me ;)
