While a true statement...it's not just about the money... being rewarded is part of what makes steemit different. That portion has attracted great content writers and inspired others to put a lot of effort into creating. To imply that people shouldn't even consider the rewards is going against the spirit of steem as well. Slippery conversation. I say upvote comments you make if you want. Don't hate the player, hate the game. I personally think this game is pretty great.
