"So, what’s your point?"

Sigh, you're going to make me do this?

"40% of bitcoins in circulation are owned by 1,000 people, who all have the influence to “game” the system by manipulating the marketplace for their own personal gain."

Can they affect distribution? No.

"Facebook uses ALL of your content for their own personal gain."

Yes, and they are one of the most soulless and evil corporations on the planet. Is this your barometer of success?

"Every single user on here has the right to game the system as much as they can to their abilities."

No, they don't; not in practice, at least. You have missed my point:

The robber barons want to prevent you from doing what they can do, and they blocks changes that might allow this to be changed.

"How is steemit not a massive improvement over that?"

Getting raped and taken as slave wives was also a big improvement over being put to the sword when Genghis Khan came to town. Would you like to lobby for that as well?
