wow...i would have never even correlate MLM with Steemit in a hundred year. The only thing they have in common is that there is money involved in it...but wait, that's the case with any enterprise on earth, even charity.

MLM is a direct sale distribution system for products and services and it rewards it's distributors with a fraction of the commission on multiple levels. Again...there is nothing in here even resembling that model.

In Steemit, the best content rise to the top and is rewarded financially. It is all done via a game theory, economics and a voting mechanism.

Many people have a really bad relationship to money...which seems to be your case. Money is like a blank canvas, it simply is. If you believe it's bad, it's going to be bad. If you think that anything that is related to money is bad...it will be...for you. If you think money is a tool, that's what it's going to be for you. I was for a long time in the group that believe that money was bad and guess what...I was dead broke. Not that surprising.

Unfortunately, people will come with a hasty conclusions without ever actually checking the facts...which seems to be the case in that situation. So far on this platform I've learne about the concept of #basic-income #artificial-intelligence and I've even discovered about a really neat portable projector I could buy for a hundred bucks. Of course, people get excited with the prospect of making money from their content and will write about that but I can say that in only 2 weeks, the type of content has diversified tremendously from the "early days".
