What's up with the hipster hating bruh? It was probably tech hipsters who designed this platform and if it is, in fact as you say, infested with hipsters it's either a marketing flaw or ... You could just think of it this way. Hipsters are basically the modern yuppie. Yuppies got a whole bunch of stuff done in the 80s even though they were yuppies. It's the legacy that remains that is important.

Steemit is practically just an experiment. It can't possibly be perfect. Your identification of this small slant towards WHALE power maybe true and is probably on the minds of others too so, thanks for posting this. Maybe you'll start your own mini steemvolution that will make the platform better! 😬
