what in the hell is going on?? I almost feel like I'm in that movie Eyes Wide Shut and I wish I could take back all the nonsense I've been witnessing. I don't get exactly what's going on, but this does not sit well with me. Those posts are trash. Why the big money for them? What gives?

So confusing. But once the average user finds out this type of thing, while rare, is going on . . no way Steemit gains traction. TRuthfully, it appears that the powers at be do not need it to be more popular. THey are already quite well off and can hand out their power at will.

Free market and all that . .

But geez, it is just perplexing . . . .
