Well I have been on steemit since virtually the start , love the platform and see it as a huge positive in the crypto realm and also the social network realm, Im no whale just a fingerling (just under 2k SP) , I see this as a extremely long term project , i have done posts made pennys , but thats cool , im no blogger but like the idea and am learning , from what i see the development is continuous, and have to applaud dan, ned and the team on the job so far!! Yes there is great room for improvement and I have read thru all the comments and there are valid points on all sides of this discussion, yes the whales do need to be accountable for there actions, people do have bad days and can (sometimes) make bad decisions, and by no means do i say they have to be policed , but there should be in place a limitation on there influence , how im not sure, im sure the dev team are working on it , of course contributors , that contribute value to the site should be rewarded , they earnt it , Im no great influence in the blogging world , dont have 1000's of followers, i do what i do , i have promoted Steemit, via advertising , which i am good at and actually post my results on here in the past , so people have ideas on attracting people as the growth of the site will benefit all.
