    That's the way how Steemit is advertised. Not the freedom, the money. It's not a surprise that the user base love money more than freedom.

    I agree, but it's still wrong. I mention this directly:

    Unfortunately there is also a slim majority of sampled authors who believed, in some shape or form, that they or other authors are entitled to whale votes in the common pattern we have been seeing, i.e. the "kissed by a whale" effect I outlined above. Steemit Inc. leadership need to address this extremely common misconception and perhaps issue an apology for indirectly promoting it. It has and will continue to cause a lot of friction. I'll mention @ned and @sneak here for this, who seems to be @dan 's replacement, effective some 3 months ago.

    There is always the danger that greed will kick in. It's time to relax and enjoy the platform!

    Indeed, take the long view. It's not something you can rely on to pay the bills! Enjoyment is paramount, and bean counting is a sure way ruin that. 👍
