Wow, so many assumptions, I don't even know where to start. At the top is a good idea I assume.

• there's also a lot of valid criticism about Banfield, but I understand your reasoning to vote for him.
• I made a lot more in rewards with my previous bot.
• curie may make some mistakes, like any big group, but then imagine a platform without them
• technical skills are what keeps the whole thing running. Without them, marketers wouldn't have anything to market. The public node I run is my second biggest cost factor, for itself enough to cause losses
• PEvO is a pretty neat use case for steem. I'm not a scientist, if I weren't involved here I wouldn't care. Also, where will hacking spaces and garages publish their results in a quotable and accessible way? We don't care about funding either.
• all steemdice profits (the only project with an income stream btw) build the bankroll. If you consider the amount in there a "LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT" of money for providing the service since more than a year I hope you find a job soon.
