I didn't mean that I thought Steemit would become like Amway... only the similar idea of many people at the bottom helping to make people at the top rich at their expense. Steemit also has a product: the posts of many talented people as well as the promise of payment. As for the whale vs minnow reference, that was from various posts by other Steemit people that I have read over the last couple months. Just an observation, I guess. Not meant to offend.
