The 6% was wrong from the website but even the 1 or 2% that it was is extreme.

People care because a ton of people put A LOT of effort into their posts and yet people with a ton of money can just give whatever they want to whoever regardless if it is worth that much or not.

The fact is, from what I've seen, most of the Steem community agrees that Haejin gets to much. @dan posted about it and how it needs to be fixed. Many witnesses agree that it needs to be fixed. These aren't tiny people that are thinking this. These are the influential people that have been here from the beginning and spend a lot of personal time trying to Grow and give to the community. Not take it all for themselves.

Anybody who can't see this is a problem is not looking at the whole picture. I bet if you polled the top 100 witnesses, you'd get a resounding affirmation that something is wrong and needs to be fixed with some people and the amount of rewards they take from the pool that is disproportinate.

If you polled many of the community leaders on Steem, they'd agree it is wrong and needs to be changed.

But would people join a platform that is rigged towards anyone with a ton of money who can just take from the reward pool and put no effort in? (Not saying this specifically deals with no effort, more towards @grumpycat)

There is something inherently wrong with one whale being able to give such a large portion of the COMMUNITY pool to one single person.

Anybody with any sense knows that the more wealth you share, the people people join which creates more demand which brings up your personal investment when you are a whale.

Doing the opposite and keeping it all to yourself hurts the platform and hurts the individuals investment.

It just doesn't make sense.

Thanks for your thoughts though man! Appreciate it.
