While it's hard for me to put an exact dollar value on this, I absolutely see the value it's adding with it's content and discussion (as well as with the previous posts on this topic.)
It's an important topic for the community to be chiming in on (even though it's hard to tell those who merely upvoted without reading, those who read it, and those contributing to the conversation.) Personally I don't have a problem seeing something like this have a high dollar value attached, so long as the information and discussion are adding value to the community (which I believe it does.)
On other sites, I never would have provided feedback, because I just didn't care. It was their platform with things being decided behind closed doors. I feel differently on steemit, feeling a part of a community, and even if my feedback isn't the final answer, I'm happy seeing the motivation of myself and others to contribute.
Money is nice, but it alone doesn't solve the underlying community issues and concerns, which I feel this post highlights very well.
Regardless, this is a great question to have posed @berniesanders!
@sykochica Nice to see you hear giving a level headed contribution to the discussion. So many replies it's hard to follow the conversation.
I agree. This post has value. It is worth talking about and therefore I voted it up. I haven't downvoted a lot because I havent seen a lot that deserves a down vote. I am sure I wll come across something. I have only been here a few days. I am a newbie on here and I don't know who @dantheman is. This post looked interesting and I am trying to gain insight. If I didn't think it provided any, I would have moved on.
