Yup, it seems like a con job being pushed onto the platform (even if it's not intentional). Many want to try to get more investors by enticing them to invest, selling it as an opportunity to make money by doing a few clicks, or worse, sell votes and make 2x as much, 100% more profit than they are now. I think the "positives" that are sold are misconceptions compared to how it will play out. Meanwhile, the majority of the platform won't see much improve in curation rewards, and their author rewards which is their main means of trying to grow in SP, will be cut. The ideas people come up with just to try to get STEEM to go up in price by getting peopel to buy it.

"Vote selling/buying will be great for STEEM. Investors will want to buy STEEM to get great ROI, making the price go up. And people will buy STEEM in order to buy votes. Such a great idea." Right... how's that working out for the greatness of the platform? 50/50 just makes it worse as I see it.
