I get your point but what can we do about it then? You can't just sit and watch because they are when you think better stealing your money too

Honestly, steemfollower.com uses a model that Steemit itself could adopt on mass scale, and it would solve so many problems with reward pool rape that it's not funny. Not a perfect solution, but as long as people have to game the system to get as much as they give, there will be loopholes that asshats will abuse. I dunno, I think if those able to change the system refuse to, then let the system run its course. Steem won't die, it will simply reach a point where action is necessary. The vast majority of people using Steemit cannot even make a dent against abusers, simply because most of the steem power is controlled by the few, and the few couldn't care less if their holdings dropped to nothing before they could power down... they would just pump the price back up and restart the cycle.
