" I said the computer pays me; I am paid by an algorithm."

That sure must have caught them with wild surprise!

The way you broke it down as described here is commendable. I haven't seen a better explanation in such a short piece of content.

"... they did not know what an "algorithm" or "consensus model" was."

I have done my masters but still don't know for sure what an algorithm really is - so not your fault.

"...someone said they did not know what a "blog" was"...

Some people live in their own small world...or in a cave!

Congrats on the achievement and thank you for spreading more awareness about Steemit.

Upvoted and resteemed.
