I've always been fairly neutral about the guilds. Steemit is not easy and, in my opinion, it helps weed out the quitters. I have no problem taking a few people under my wing - even share my earnings to help boost their confidence and their SP - but I don't know that I would ever fully support equal distribution. The level of persistence, the desire to learn, grow, and change (or at least attempt to use best practices) plus the time and creativity invested to build their community and find their people is solely on the individual -- and should be rewarded. I cannot abide by anyone's sense of displaced entitlement.
