There is no reason to change the thinking of the smaller accounts. It is the larger accounts and the Investors that need to understand why they are on steemit. I will be approaching 2 years on steem on Aug 1st. I did buy some steem monster cards when they came with steem as a bonus, that is the only money I have invested in steem. It is likely to be the only money I do invest here. I am not an investor.

I am fine with not being at dolphin status, I will get there. Your post has done a lot to re-inforce in me why I do not want to invest money in steem. I am here as a content user, a sometime content producer, and mostly just an individual sharing a few things with some like minded people. It will not affect me in the least if steem drops to 5 cents, I don't really care about the price.

I have nothing to lose other than the 100 dollars I "Quote" invested in Steem monster cards. My account is worth a whole whopping $400.00, who really cares. Go buy your votes for your content self vote for your earnings, and by all means tell more and more people about how they are pieces of shit for not having money, that should go over big, tell a few more people to go get jobs too,

Me I am not butt hurt at all, I have not lost any money at all in steem. I am not the one crying about the lack of content, about the lack of quality, about the lack of a good price for steem, I am not the one blaming others for the failure of steem. There are aspects of steem I don't like there are attitudes on steem I don't like, the aspects of steem I don't like during hardfork times I put my two cents worth, (or Less), of opinion in. The attitudes of people, who cares. rats are going to be rats and the faster this ship sinks the faster the rats will bail.
