I never said anyone using Steemit is an bad thing in fact the opposite is true, the more people trying to educate the masses in the truth of our current paradigm the better.

As for this statement........

If they post a 3,000 word article that took weeks or months to write, I don't think that's "posting one or two paragraphs with little effort" to "rape the reward pool."

How does that even equate to what I actually said?

And this.....

These people write or speak for a living. Their incomes have been slashed by youtube demonetization, censorship, and the like. I don't think them using steemit is a bad thing. If you relied only on income you could receive from readers, it would probably incentivize you to get on every platform possible.

You're preaching to the choir. I'm well aware of what's going on.

This is what I said......

My concern is that you'll have cliques of Fakebook 'stars' and their followers only following and supporting each other in a big circle jerk of reward pool rape.

And it's more about the wider Steemit community being ignored by new adopters who only follow those they followed over from other social media platforms and not assimilating into the great medium Steemit has become.
