So by saying all that you were saying, you were happy with the way things were and want it to continue that way. I am trying to understand the alternative that these folks are putting forward outside of Justin Sun. From what you saying, you saying that the Steem users would have to foot the bill and the witnesses and developers continue to dump on them as usual. That precisely what you saying there

Not just users. Any speculator in the crypto space. Software development is real, honest work. Steemit, Inc sold tokens to speculators to be able to pay developers in dollars. There is nothing questionable about selling tokens to pay developers in fiat. The whole chain would not exist if it weren't for the developers. One developer equals to thousands of average level content creators in value.

What is the alternative, can small bloggers like myself make anything on this chain, or any blogger that outside the circle of a few accounts that regularly vote for them.

Yes, thanks to speculators particularly during a crypto bull run.

Look at it this way, the same witnesses and same folks regularly vote the post to trending and before someone gets there and happens to continue to make a little money, they receive flags.

The reward distribution is like that everywhere. Rewards follow a power distribution in any creative industry. You make it sound as if the same witnesses and folks regularly earn a lot deliberately remove rewards from the little people by downvoting them in an unfair and greedy fashion. That is not an accurate picture.

Look at the way Bernie was behaving, flagging everyone else and upvoting his post, he was making a point of the shitshow that was here. This simply could not continue like this, we have at some point in time have to think of the speculators as well, this cannot be a one way street.

The EIP solved this.

The speculators come when Bitcoin enters another bull cycle again. If BTC doesn't do that, we're fucked. You wouldn't not find a businessman willing to fund rewards at this level outside of the crypto sphere. The only way for normal bloggers in the wider world to monetize their blogs is to create quality content and get serious about SEO and marketing.
