I'm not too interested in the leadership or the economy as I think it will sort itself out
We've been waiting almost 3 years, and it has yet to. It doesn't sort itself out. People act to make things change. Or they don't.
The bidbots are a plague to Steem being an authentic place. It's a travesty that many support in their deluded goals. This bastardized the human element and real authentic evaluation of content in a social context. I'm glad you picked up on the fakeness of the platform that devalues it potential for success.
