Let's not kid ourselves. Steem is run like a Banana Republic. You got investors playing games with speculation. You have a trending page designed to make it appear like everyone is making $200 average per post. Let's look at a snipped of the created page after 30 minutes.

Oh look, someone acquired 0.08 SBD.

You say you are fine with income inequality? Well guess what, the store greeters get paid like kings in comparison to the board members at Walmart. Their income inequality is much lower.

If the average person on the trending page is earning over $200 per post, while many people are earning 1 or 2 cents, we got a problem. We don't have enough money coming into the system, so they got to fool everybody, by a misleading trending page, in order to attract investors.

You divide $200 by 2 cents, and you get. 10000. Are you fine with a 10000 to 1 income inequality ratio? We got to even the playing field a little bit more.

These dumbass whales don't realize, that when the minnows are feed, their support will trickle up to make them even more money.

Steem needs to be run like an economy on disposable income and not a banana Republic. Once you get corporate adds in here, and a proper market place, we can have an economy based upon disposable income.

Maybe we can redesign the rewards pool, to incentive's those who spend time reading the minnows post.

I think the curation rewards should increase, for those who comment on posts with from members of a lower Steem power. Lets have a progressive curation system.

@TimCliff says the rewards pool is flawed. I agree with him. I say we redesign the rewards pool, and then increase the rewards pool through advertising. That will give Steem an economic model, based upon disposable income.

Pragmatic income inequality is good. It motivates members to compete and produce amazing content, but we have to reduce the extreme income inequality on here.

If we change our model, will get our membership up to 10 million, and will start getting large corporate sponsors running ads to funding the rewards pool, and perhaps funding premium members who produce great content. But we should have a consensus to approve premium members, so we don't have bot abuse to take money from advertisers.

Once we get the corporate sponsors, lets create a special marketplace so they can sell their products on here. Many companies would love to run focus groups on Social media. This could be their platform.

So we have great ideas, but whos going to do the work?
If the programming is too much of a headache for 99%, then lets pass the information on to the top 1% who are talented enough to pull if off. Lets get Steem Inc recruit the best and the brightness talent from the Steem community.

Let's start funding programming contest, to find the hidden talent on here. Give all these employees a shitload of Steem, and explain to them, that if they pull this off, they are going to become rich.
