Leveraging your assets , yes.
The steem rewards pool are not your assets to leverage.
Networking, yes.
Based on free exchange. (time, labor, contacts etc). This is based on an exchange of property, or potential profit.
The steem rewards pool is no ones property.
Financial incentives , yes.
In the real world financial incentives are offered by one person with the finance, to incentivize someone to work for them, with reward.
But a person 'a' offering to pay person 'b' with something that is not theirs to give...?
Humans don't become something new when they buy some crypto.
Maybe it's certain personality type of human that buys crypto....
Financial speculators have much higher than average number of sociopaths and malignant narcissist types in their numbers....
(lack of ethical restriction)
Crypto offers this even more so than traditional financial markets..
Voting power is "owned" it is a by-product of holding Steem Power. Those who own it have the ability to sell, rent, lease and trade it.
So no one is taking the reward pool from anyone, they are using their voting power a by-product of SP and they are allocating the use of their assets.
While I think many of our whales lack any business sense as the major financiers and holders of Steem, they are free to make bad choices. :)
The bidbots are an important part of our economy, while I agree there are too many of them.
It's simply supply and demand.. there is a demand and there is a supply.
Any successful blog no matter how high the quality in any world is going to have to fight for sponsorship, advertisements and more.
If you point is... It's not fair, some good content doesn't earn while other content (maybe less engaging) does earn.
You are correct. It does work that way. :)

....the reward pool is not owned by anyone, you agree? (as you said earlier to me).
The reward pool is then distributed through the ecosystem with the mechanism of voting power/sp.
Agree?(or not?)
The mechanism of the movement of assets that don't belong to you - from one place to another - is not philosophically logical if you think property rights are a thing.
grrrrr! lol ....it amazes me how people seem to try to equate 'fair' - a 100% subjective value - as having anything to do with the steemit ecosystem.
To assign a value to anything implies price discovery. Price discovery cannot be implemented without property or free market working properly.
Steemit has neither..
