RE: Sweetsssj
Thank you @blunderbabe!
I agree, its all about money even though Steemit was created for the "common man" where everyone has an equal chance.
If thats the case then why are we divided between minnows, dolphins and whales?
Mankind may never change.
See that's exactly why I don't believe Steemit was created for the common man :-/ I don't think many things are. Now I love this platform, I do - but remember the creators own something like 84% of all existing Steem.
That said - it certainly gives the 'common man' a higher chance to succeed then other platforms. But I think believing this was ever something where everyone has an equal chance is wishful thinking - as, since you pointed out, there is a hierarchy based 100% on monetary wealth.
hugs back.
Maybe it's disguised to be for the common man while behind the scenes it's a money machine to make the people at the top get rich.
I suppose we all have an opportunity to make a lot of money on Steemit. Maybe with good marketing and the right connections.
Steemit is just like anywhere else. Cash is king and the common man is forgotten.
@donkeypong is still flagging my blogs and replies but I see its okay for him to flag, troll and harass people since he has 321,668.739 of STEEM.
I actually had to ask @donkeypong to stop trolling and spamming my blogs and he ignored my request and that's when it became harassment.
It wasn't until I commented to other members that he was harassing me to get him to finally stop.
For me though, I question someones honesty and identity since Steemit supposedly holds up those values and I am being harassed by "whales".
Their "whale" status on Steemit won't save them from the governed laws of the internet though.
WEll this has really affected my decision to invest in Steem, thats for sure.
