It's a relief to hear your well articulated response. This has been on my mind for some time now.
I don't think this the majority vote on Steemit, but I've seen this idea perpetuated by some very powerful users and, naturally, that means these ideas have a chance of gaining traction if they aren't vocally opposed.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
What I think it is is that due to the extraordinary rise of crypto, those that never would have been rich are now suddenly rich. So they think they are hot shit. Super duper smart. Ya know, like Trump because his Daddy made him rich.
Money they didn't have to do much of anything to earn. The type of rich person who spits on the guy doing the low jobs.
The rich guys who had to work hard and take serious risks know what it is like, and so they tip well and talk to the low level guys like real human beings.
We can all easily tell the two types of rich people apart.
Pfhahaha. Too real, man. Too real.
And yeah, I totally agree. Those of us who have had to sweat for what we have (and had to watch our parents sweat) generally know better than to look down on anyone.
