How is it fair then if "the purchase of votes helps to rise faster in Steemit"?
Then what is the difference between everything Steemit pretends to be against? What is the point of having a "decentralized dictatorship" of high-power individuals and corporations (bots, power brokers) and so on.
How many free people will like to feel like pawns in this game?
How fast new users will realize it?
How many will stay?
How the platform will survive?
What will it become? Just another currency exchange where users can also add their comments and socialize while trading?
Steem/Steemit could just be an enormous trollbox? I guess that’s what will finally push the price to $10, right?
It's already a troll box to a large degree, unfortunately.
Price going to $10? Even hypothetically or in response to healthy sarcasm, i don't see any foundation for that, based on what i see at the moment and where it goes.
I wish it succeeded but so far i see more of a pessimistic trend.
I wish someone could prove me wrong.
