I did skip large pieces of your post as 80% of it was your views and confirmation bias. I also refrenced your post multiple times. At the very beginning I suggested that people read it. I can’t provide a different viewpoint for the way that you feel or the way that things “probably” went down. My point was not to argue that you were wrong my point was to show that we can all see the same data and come to different conclusions based on the way we gather data, and what lense we are looking through when gathering data.

You are right about the rewards in the fact that I thought steemworld still took curation into account. Steemworld only shows what the author specifically got paid. I will modify my one line to remove the “take 25% away for curation.

Even using your math for the decrepencies in the account, the platform brings in orders of maginute more money than the accounts that were used.

You could be right and even though the platform brings in more money @zombee wanted even more. I just don’t view it the same way, because strategically to me it doesn’t add up. There was way more to loose than there was to gain.

If you think my analysis is invalid that’s completely fine. This post was not designed to change your mind. It was made to show that based on my personal analysis I didn’t come to the same conclusion based on what you presented plus the the independent research I performed.
