Why are so many acting like corporate lackeys, sucking up to the corporate investor framework? Is that really what we want to create and imitate? Gotta do whatever we can to keep the money players and investors happy and keep their money invested in STEEM, right?
I get how many end up there. STEEM is your stake, in stake-based voting. The stake is a share, like a corporate structure.
If the investors can't just make easy money by exploiting the platform in any ways they can, then they will leave by taking their shares out. Can't have that, can we. We have to appease the shareholders and do whatever we can to make sure they don't sell their shares/stake. We have to keep bringing them profit by any means!
God forbid anyone should sell STEEM. Certainly not those who have lots of it. What a "bad" thing to have happen, for STEEM to be sold by those who have it. I guess the goal some people have in mind is for no one to sell any STEEM, hold it forever, and STEEM goes to the MOON! Great plan! LOL. Buyers need sellers... FYI.

It's not like it would be good to move away from the corporate-centered mindset of the world. No... It's not like we should try to free ourselves from that way of doing things. No... It's not like crypto was supposed to be different from that crap, and do things better. No... Let's just replicate the same money-centered focus and be corporate lackeys who do whatever and let whatever happen as long as it makes the investors more money. Wo0ot! Great plan²!
Let's not create the same structure many of us are trying to get away from empowering. Decentralizing the power that rests in few hands is good. If all someone cares about is making money anyway they can, and will leave if they can't, then so be it. They just care about making money, not the platform. We don't need to be dependent on them. We can shift our mindset to not be attached to keeping them here at any cost.
