I totally agree with what you said. I even wrote a post about how steemit currently isn't fair because the whales are using the system for their own benefit (up-voting each other) instead of searching for innovative creators in the NEW sections that are being under voted or are just not known yet. Right now steemit it is only partially decentralized but the whales can fix a few issues on the network by searching for new content, resteeming, and up-voting good creators. At the end of the day, steemit is still in beta and it's a long term project. It's kinda sad to realize that humans are the main issue not the system. The issue isn't in centralization, it's in us (though decentralization helps a ton). Thank you for replying. you made much better points than I did. let's just hope this issues get "fixed", so we can be ready for mass adoption.
Great post btw
