I absolutely see the business side of things, however if you are using Steemit as an investment vehicle, I think you also have to realise that it is also a Social Network, and social networks rely on interaction between those who use it for it to survive and prosper.

There is a wealth of inventive, clever and talented creators here on the platform, and you need to give them hope and a chance too. That's why I think it should be a condition that to invest and prosper in Steemit, you also have to contribute to Steemit and not just milk it...

Everyone who only take and sell Steem in the same time milk Steem. Read my few last posts, and everything is there about Social network, business, Steem and Steemit. This is not social donation network, this is business social network. We need to find a model for everyone who is loyal, active, creative, for investors and for creators.

Those who have nothing except their talent of writing and creating don't milk Steem, they work for it!! My business (I have worked in international travel for 30 years) has been destroyed by Covid-19, and I have drained my savings to keep going. This is an investment vehicle that in time may replace what I have lost, but I will have to work for it, and it would be better if I get value for the amount of time that I put into it. I will work at this for hopefully over several years, and ultimately what I get out will also be dependent on the other members of the platform too...
