Hi @glitterfart, thanks for your post, I agree with you. I think people who invest money into the platform is great for the platform, and should be able to get a return on their investment, this would encourage more people to invest. I am one of the people who did not invest any money in Steem, but just power up everything I earn through my posts, now I have grown to be a dolphin. I also promote Steemit as far as I go, to encourage others to start participating.
Thanks for the good work.
