I agree @spiritualmax.

We do not have to look too far to see the results the different paths result in. One in tyranny and the others in a flourishing system (at least until tyranny takes over).

We are fortunate that the STEEM model is designed to spread the wealth around over time. Like with most things on here, the Whales simply get overwhelmed when more people sign up. They cannot post the number of articles to keep receiving their share of the 75% of the author pool.

Yet it can still be hindered if we do not keep focusing upon helping others.
