RE: Help Fix Steem's Economy!
There appear to be many orcas and whales happy to spread the love.
This has to do with the way money is distributed. Not just on Steemit, but in the world in general. The market favours people who look out for themselves and themselves only. It favours people willing to step on others in order to make a profit.
People who are nice and compassionate tend to have less money at their disposal due to not being willing and/or able to go the extra mile to be as ruthless as necessary.
You don't have to be morally ruthless to make more money. You can build a better business without compromising on morals.
Agree in part schattenjaeger - the truly successful people in life are those who create opportunities for others and then take a share of the profit along the way. Capitalism is not black and white and not everyone can be the CEO. But a great CEO might be able to find employment opportunities for many - at the same time maximising returns.

Yeah, it wasn't a knock on capitalism, per se.
Couldn't have wrote it better
This is not true. When Steem rewarded people who formed actual friendships people then said "people are voting for themselves and their friends". So now that doesn't happen as much and people complain about something else?
You can't get everything. There are tradeoffs. Which tradeoffs do you prefer?
Me? I was always a fan of the old system.
