You suffer from this thing called survivors bias. You think because you invested a lot you should get a lot. I think you fail to understand the potential decentralized media has, simply viewing this as an attempt to make money. The argument I make (which you are incapable of rebutting, despite your steem power) is that everyone should have a right to have their ideas heard. This is good for a number of reasons.
- Everyone can speak, and discuss ideas leading to a more reasoned and balanced society. This helps prevent extremists from gaining traction (as people realise their views are not based on correct principles) and people are not afraid to voice their ideas (they have the anonymity of the internet).
- People can campaign and protest about problems, which leads to change.
However you suggest that this is bad. The system you support limits the exposure of those with little money, and means that those with a lot of money can flag posts they don't like to make them less visible and upvote the posts they do like to make them more visible. The platform does this in a few ways:
- They hide low value posts.
- The trending page (what users see most) is owned by people who pay lots of money to bot-owners and get visibility through that.
To your point that I should "shut up and go away" - go find someone who cares about you, your sad little life and your "I have money so I'm so great" chant. Because honestly you're a stuck-up little prick, who thinks they have a fundamental, god-given right to all the money they make.
